"Archer Live" sloppy but fun "Archer Live" was a fun, but disjointed show over the course of its 90-minute running time. While it was fun to see the voices of these characters performed live, there was a lack of organization that was a bit of a disappointment with tickets costing $35-$45 each. Still, that same chaos allowed for some of the funniest moments of the evening, but for fans looking for a more in-depth look at the show, they were left in the cold in favor of the party atmosphere. |

Aisha Tyler talks "Archer" in Milwaukee and more I'm super excited for Saturday's "Archer Live," the in-person incarnation of the hit FX show that blows me away every week. I'll just throw it out there: "Archer," the animated spy comedy is not only the funniest show on TV now, but it ranks among the funniest shows of all time. Filthy, witty and beautifully drawn, it packs an amazing amount of comedy into every episode. In advance of the show, I spoke to Aisha Tyler (Lana Kane) by phone. |

Will a once-sticky Art Museum tradition now fade away? When folks would leave the museum, often they'd slap their sticker onto one of a couple light posts along Lincoln Memorial Drive, near the northerly entrance to Art Museum Drive. The poles have, consequently, been practically wallpapered with stickers from ground level up to a level just out of arm's reach for humans of average height. But now that tradition may begin to diminish as quickly as the blue decoration on the old stickers has faded in the sun. |

Schumer's star eclipsed by opening act Usually at any concert the opening act is designed to serve as a solid appetizer to get the audience settled in for the headline performer. This was not the case at The Pabst Theater on Saturday night as Amy Schumer's opener Bridget Everett was a supernova that made Schumer's set feel like a post-dinner piece of hard candy. |

Burr brings the funny to The Pabst It's a pretty rare accomplishment for a stand-up comedian to receive a standing ovation from half the audience before telling a single joke, but Bill Burr managed to get such a response before starting his sold out late show at the Pabst Theater Friday night. Constantly touring, Burr has proved to be one of the most prolific stand-up comedians currently working. |

Milchman pulls you in with "Cover of Snow" Novels like Jenny Milchman's "Cover of Snow" prove that there's still no better way to pass an afternoon than lying on your couch, elbows-deep in a good mystery story. |

Tame Impala caters to college atmosphere For the most part, Tame Impala isn't a very flashy band. Kevin Parker hardly makes any sudden movements except for some slight arm swaying and holding his guitar up to the sky as if he's succumbing to the resonance he just unleashed on the crowd. Stage presence aside, it's all made up with the simple but fitting oscilloscope styled visuals and stage lighting which erupted in color with every sonic melody played by the band. Had you been anything else but sober, you could've probably seen the waves bursting from Parker's guitar. |

Nick Offerman offers a night of storytelling and song On Saturday night, "Parks and Recreation's" Nick Offerman (the actor behind the show's amazing character Ron Swanson) appeared at the Pabst Theater in front of a full house not exactly sure what they were about to get. Luckily, their instincts to come were rewarded with a terrific night of storytelling and song. |

Ferguson's comedy is better on TV While he may have been performing in a primetime spot, the host of "The Late Late Show" Craig Ferguson was certainly not any cleaner at his Friday night performance at the Pabst Theater. |

Young performers surprise in DHS production of "Phantom of the Opera" I want to make something very clear, right from the start. I'm not saying that Dominican High School's production of "Phantom of the Opera" was a great production for a high school. This was a great production. |
