As venues across the region increase event capacity and the Milwaukee community excitedly welcomes a return to pre-pandemic entertainment, the long-anticipated Improv is preparing to make its official debut in Wisconsin. The legendary comedy brand today announced it will open its doors at The Corners of Brookfield on Friday, August 20.

The 13,049-square-foot premium entertainment venue, located on the lower level of the northeast side of the town center, features two live performance stages with full food and bar service. Entertainment it will bring to the greater Southeast Wisconsin community will include some of the top comedians in the industry. The venue will also focus on discovering and empowering local talent through open mic nights, showcases and performance spotlights.

“We know the greater Milwaukee community and beyond has been anticipating our opening since we first announced our debut in Wisconsin, and we’re thrilled that the time has finally come to open our doors,” said Alireza Ghaemian, CEO of Improv owner Levity Live. “If there was ever a time for the community to come together for abundant laughs over great drinks and delicious food, it’s now, and we can’t wait for our neighbors to experience Improv.”

The venue’s comedian talent line-up for mid-August through early December shows will be announced mid-June and tickets will go on sale in late June. Those who sign up for more information at www.Improv.com/Milwaukee will have the first opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets for all Improv shows before general public tickets go on sale.

To manage its first-to-Wisconsin comedy venue, Improv has chosen Jayk Burczyk as the General Manager of operations. Burczyk comes to the position with nearly a decade of experience in the Milwaukee area hospitality industry, most recently at Boone and Crockett, Hacienda Beer Company and Fuel Café.

“Improv Milwaukee” will be the company’s 25^th location nationwide, with other venues in Los Angeles, Irvine, San Jose, Chicago, Houston, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Washington, D.C. and more. Over the decades, the talent who have graced Improv stages include Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal, Lily Tomlin, Freddie Prinze, Andy Kaufman, Eddie Murphy, Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Jay Leno, Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, Ellen DeGeneres, Jamie Foxx, Adam Sandler, and Dave Chappelle.

“Improv adds an all new entertainment offering to the area with a caliber and variety of shows that I think all will enjoy,” said Robert Gould, CEO of Brookfield Corners LLC. “The team is finalizing an amazing opening lineup of talent for the Wisconsin debut and we’re thrilled for the community to soon see celebrity and soon-to-be famous comedic talent at The Corners.”

The town center’s grocery store will increase in size from 35,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet and will offer customers a shopping experience that is perfectly suited for the area. Additions to the store include:
• Inclusion of 7,000-sq. ft. on the main Union Street level adjoining L.L.Bean that will house a convenient floral shop and home goods department, expanded grab-and-go selections and more.
• A mezzanine level served by escalators featuring a gathering space with sofas, tables, gas fire and piano that overlook Sendik’s newly designed store.
• A bar offering a range of beer, wine and gourmet coffee.

• Direct pedestrian access between Union Street and Bluemound Road via a new pedestrian indoor walkway that provides access to Sendik’s and The Corners.

“Providing an unmatched customer experience has been at the forefront of our mission since 1926,” said Ted Balistreri, co-owner at Sendik’s. “We want to capitalize on the recent success we have had with our store at The Corners of Brookfield and enhance the customer experience by adding amenities this community has been looking for. The growing popularity of the town center, coupled with the willingness of IM Properties to continue to elevate the center’s offerings, makes The Corners of Brookfield the perfect fit for this type of unique grocery store.”

“Sendik’s is a unique asset and essential part of the tenant mix we are developing, and we are delighted to partner with them on this exciting addition to the Town. Sendik’s brand aligns perfectly with the eclectic mix of high quality, often independently owned and managed retail, restaurant and entertainment offerings we are assembling,” said Robert Gould, head of US Operations for IM Properties. “The common area improvements we announced in September gave us the opportunity to fully integrate Sendik’s beautiful store into the main shopping level and make it an experiential destination for our loyal customers by both foot and car, as well as the more than 200 families who call the Corners home. This store will push the boundary of grocery offerings, food service, convenience, experience and quality in the greater Milwaukee region.”
