Comedian Tim Cavanagh Returns to Thrasher Opera House

Green Lake, Wis. (August 22, 2022) – So, did you hear the one about the high school teacher who walked into a comedy club–and they hired him? That’s where the Tim Cavanagh comedy story begins. Comedian Tim Cavanagh will return to the historic Thrasher House in Green Lake, Wisconsin on Saturday night September 10, at 7:30 p.m.  For a full year, Tim taught teenagers by day. By night, he sang his funny songs in Chicago comedy clubs. “Not surprisingly, I found the biggest difference between the classroom and the nightclub was the drunks–which I generally let the principal handle,” Tim says.

Since leaving the classroom, Tim Cavanagh has brought his comedic songs and inventive stand-up to concert halls, corporations, college campuses, and nightclubs across America. And cruise ships around America. Over the years, he has also made several trips to Canada, where he must convert all his jokes to Celsius and his one degree in philosophy becomes a bone-chilling minus 31.

As for television, Tim has not only appeared on Comedy Central but he was also chosen by the network to do several live performances for their clients and customers. His national appearances on ABC-TV, Showtime, and WGN America have put a face to the voice that so many knew only from the radio.

Tim will be joined by Brian Hicks.  Brian is one of the country’s most sought-after stand-up comics, (no, he is not wanted by the police). However, he has taken the comedy world by storm with his insightful views on what people find funny. The laughs come fast and frequently as he has spent the last 22 years honing his craft at clubs and theaters across the United States Brian specializes in giving every audience a hilarious and singular comedic experience. His unique talent consists of clever material and unparalleled audience interaction, which he combines seamlessly with his lightning-quick wit. Brian has incredible instincts and an undeniable ability to make audiences laugh. Sounds great, right? Of course, it does, Brian wrote it!
