On Feb. 23, 7 & 9:45 p.m.,\u00a0Tracy Morgan<\/strong> returns to the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 presented by Yuengling for two shows of no-holds-barred standup comedy. From \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d to \u201c30 Rock,\u201d and everything in between, Morgan is one of the most respected comedians in his field. In 2016, he headlined a nationwide stand-up tour titled \u201cPicking Up the Pieces,\u201d which culminated in his latest stand up special, \u201cStaying Alive,\u201d now streaming on Netflix. Morgan now stars in and is executive producer of the TBS show \u201cThe Last O.G.,\u201d created by Jordan Peele.

After 11 records, more than 2,800 live shows and countless appearances in film and television, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy celebrates more than 25 years in the industry and shows no signs of slowing down. Early on, during a legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles, the band reminded the world, during the grunge era no less, that it was still cool to swing. The band, cofounded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing and Dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture. Tickets for the show are $30-$40.<\/p>\n Comedian Sasheer Zamata<\/strong> takes the stage at the Fowler Blast Furnace Room Feb. 8, 8 p.m. Named one of Time Out New York’s Top 10 Funniest Women, Zamata is a comedian, actress, writer and former \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d cast member who\u2019s performed standup at Bonnaroo, SXSW, Moontower Comedy Festival, New York Comedy Festival, Great American Comedy Festival, Women in Comedy Festival and more.
