Coming to the ComedySportz/Milwaukee Arena. An original play created by Dick
Chudnow, David Bogan, Brian Bzdawka, and Joel Gradisnik. The "Monkey Knife Fight" comedy troupe
presents, "Come On Down! The Merzakowski Story".

The play tells the tale of Lupe Merzakowski and his
family, and how a chance to realize his dream of being
on "The Price Is Right" finally comes true. But it's
no easy task when you're part of the most
dysfunctional family in the world. Join the
Merzakowski's as they scramble to get Lupe to the show
on-time, with obstacles all along the way!

Co-creator, Dick Chudnow, is a veteran to the comedy
scene. Not only is he the founder and owner of the
ComedySportz franchise, screenwriter for the movie
“Spy Hard”
but he was also a founding member of the Madison comedy
troupe,the "Kentucky Fried
Theater" along with the Zucker brothers and Jim
Abrahms, who went
on to create movies such as “Airplane” and “The Naked
Gun”.

"Monkey Knife Fight" is a Milwaukee based sketch
comedy troupe that includes ComedySportz players, Dave
Bogan, Brian "Buzz" Bzdawka, Joel Gradisnik, Andrew
Muraszewski, Rich Laguna, and Dick Chudnow. "Monkey
Knife Fight" shows contain material that is for
adults only, and "Come On Down" is no exception! There
is use of explicit language and we definitely "push
the envelope" in our performances.

Co-writers, Bzdawka, Bogan, Gradisnik, and
Chudnow have created a show that combines a theatrical
play with rapid fire sketch comedy. It uses both live
and video mediums throughout it's entirety. If you
have a
short attention span and like your comedy low brow,
this show is for you!

"Come On Down" will be performed at ComedySportz,
located at 420 S. 1st St. in Milwaukee 's 5th ward. You must be
18 or older for admission. To find out more about
ComedySportz or make reservations, check out the
