Edgar Sandoval Brings Stand-Up to Shank Hall

Milwaukee-born Edgar Sandoval brings his stand-up comedy to Shank Hall, where the former television news anchor turns his own life into punchlines. His set draws on a 27-year marriage, four children, and growing up as a second-generation Asian American — the kind of personal material he says is funnier than reporting on other people's problems.

Sandoval has headlined in Las Vegas and across Wisconsin and Illinois, and has opened on the road for Charlie Berens, Chris Kattan, and others. For local audiences, it's a homecoming: he came up performing at clubs like The Improv and The Laughing Tap. Expect a relaxed, autobiographical hour from a comedian who has made a career out of owning his questionable decisions.
