Club\n\n\nLaugh First \nA preview of what’s coming to West Bend\nTwo sets to watch before you grab seats: one from late-night TV\, one from his latest special. \nBrooks Wheelan Stand-Up on Late Night with Seth Meyers \nTeenage embezzlement and arguing with conservative parents\, straight from the Late Night stage. \n\n“Red Lobster IS Fancy” · Alive in Alaska \nA fan-favorite bit from his 2024 special\, on the late-in-life discovery that Red Lobster is not\, in fact\, fine dining. \n\n\n\nFrom Iowa to Studio 8H \nA Midwestern comic with a national résumé\nBrooks Wheelan grew up in small-town Iowa and went to college at the University of Iowa before stand-up took him to the coasts. His breakout came fast: in 2012 he was tapped as one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch at the New York Comedy Festival and made a splash as a new face at Montreal’s Just for Laughs. \nThat momentum carried him to NBC\, where he spent Season 39 of Saturday Night Live as both a writer and a cast member. Since then he’s done stand-up on Late Night with Seth Meyers and CONAN\, taped a half-hour for Comedy Central\, and turned up on HBO’s Girls. His debut album\, This Is Cool\, Right?\, reached No. 1 on the iTunes comedy chart\, and his latest hour\, Alive in Alaska\, arrived in 2024. \nOnstage he’s loose\, honest and happy to be the butt of the joke. Friday\, November 6 he brings that act to a 1929 vaudeville house in downtown West Bend\, and the room is small enough that you won’t miss a single face he makes. \n\n\nCareer Highlights \nThe résumé\, in brief\nA few stops on the way to The Bend. \n\nSaturday Night LiveWriter and cast member for Season 39 on NBC.2013–2014\nThis Is Cool\, Right?Debut album; hit No. 1 on iTunes and made Paste’s 10 Best Comedy Albums of the year.2015\nComedy Central: The Half HourHis own half-hour stand-up special.2015\nLate Night & CONANStand-up sets on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and TBS’s CONAN.Late-night TV\nAlive in AlaskaHis most recent stand-up special and album.2024\nLive at The BendOne night in West Bend\, with an opening comic.Nov 6\, 2026\n\nMore at brookswheelan.com. \n\n\nTickets & Seating \nThree ways in\nReserved seating across three price levels in a 360-seat historic theater. \n\n$45Premium Seating16 seats\n$35Main Seating279 seats\n$25Value Seating65 seats\n\nTotal capacity 360.
