Some of the Funniest People and Films Around

Dennis Miller	He's another one who gets funnier and funnier the more you listen.
Mel Brooks	After the Broadway version of "The Producers", he's more famous than ever.
Steve Martin	Say what you want about "The Jerk", but it's hilarious. More serious movies such as "Roxanne" and his recent novels have confirmed his brilliance.
Dr. Demento	A clearing house for musical and radio comedy, proof that music can be funny and creative and not just goofy.
Norm MacDonald	The most deadpan of any of the SNL cast, he is really funny!
Dennis Leary	One of the most irascible of the American comics, Leary's fast-paced and in your face style, reminiscent of Sam Kinnison, makes him the best of contemporary stand-ups.
The Onion	Satirical newspaper from Madison, Wisconsin, now with national distribution. You won't believe what they can get away with!
Tom Lehrer	Satirist, political commentator, cultural observer during the 60s and 70s and one of the most brilliant comedic minds in American history.

Austin Powers - Imagine James Bond with bad teeth and without the looks but still with magnetic attraction.
American Movie - A film about making films made right here in Milwaukee.
