2026 UFA Championship Weekend
2026 UFA Championship Weekend
—
August 28-29, 2026 in Dowtown Madison, WI
The 2026 Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) Championship Weekend presented by Pabst Light will be held at Breese Stevens Field in Madison, WI on August 28-29. The “Capital City of Ultimate” will host the sport’s biggest event for the second consecutive season and fifth time overall. Each division champion out of the East, South, Central, and West will again advance to the “final four” event at the historic venue in the heart of downtown Madison in late summer, competing in two semifinals on Friday and the title game on Saturday night.

Less than three months ago, Breese Stevens Field welcomed more than 4,000 fans and hundreds of thousands watching live to see the Boston Glory capture their first UFA championship, led by 2025 MVP and rising superstar Tobe Decraene. The weekend also featured fan parties at nearby venues, ultimate frisbee youth clinics, and the inaugural Western Ultimate League vs. Premier Ultimate League All-Star Game–setting an attendance record for professional women’s ultimate frisbee.
“The 2025 event was the best in league history,” said UFA CEO & Commissioner Tim DeByl. “The play on the field was the strongest competition ever, but off the field, we felt this incredible energy from the fans throughout the weekend. Pabst Light brings the fun, Breese is a special neighborhood stadium experience, and the UFA showcases the best frisbee in the world. It’s the ultimate party!"
The Dallas Legion won the league title in 2016, the first time Madison hosted the event. The hometown Madison Radicals won the championship two years later and the New York Empire captured their first of two consecutive trophies in 2022. The Glory will look to repeat their unbelievable season as the last two league MVPs—Jeff Babbitt (2024) and Decraene (2025)—set their sights again on legendary Breese Stevens Field, which will also be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026.

Amalgam Improv Presents: Story-prov: Where Stories Meet Improv Comedy!
Story-prov: Where Stories Meet Improv Comedy!
Everyone has a story. But not everyone is lucky enough to have their story brought to life through improv! In Story-prov, storytellers take the stage to share captivating, real-life tales that improvisers use as inspiration for their scenes. The result is a high-energy blend of narrative and improv, where nothing is planned and the only guide is the story. Every show is a wildly fun time!
This month’s storytellers are the host of the Several Questions podcast Nate Chappell and improviser Max Olmsted!
Note: While we aim for a PG-13-rated show, some “naughty” bits may happen. Audience discretion is advised!

Cheshire Cat Comedy Presents... The Roast of Matthew Mandli
On Saturday, February 21 we bid a blistering farewell to Matthew Mandli, a razor-sharp Midwest comic whose résumé includes working clubs across the region, winning the Minnesota State Yo-Yo Championship, and finishing second at Comedy on State’s "Madison’s Funniest Comic" competition. He’s known for tight, clever joke writing and a distinctive stage presence that makes meticulous construction feel slightly unhinged.

Words with Nerds is produced by Best of Madison-winner Cheshire Cat Comedy and began in 2022 as a monthly event on the third Thursday of every month at Crucible, Madison’s premier alternative arts club. The showcase has since blossomed into a featured showcase at locations such as The Forward Club at Breese Stevens Field; Comedy Cabin in Janesville, WI; and The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago, IL. Presenters span entrepreneurs, educators, researchers, activists, union organizers, surgeons, engineers, and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.
Every now and then, Words with Nerds adds in a little splash of something extra; past examples include Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty performing a burlesque number and Batman doing stand-up comedy.
Parties interested in presenting at Words with Nerds are invited to send their pitches to cheshirecatcomedyco@gmail.com.
Cheshire Cat Comedy Presents... Year In Review: A Stand-Up Comedy Show

Expect irreverent humor, unexpected insights, and a night that turns the year’s chaos into comedy gold.
With a headlining performance by BEN KATZNER:
Ben Katzner is a Minneapolis-based comedian known for his sharp, irreverent humor, showcased in his comedy special "Supple Harlot". He is a producer of the prestigious 10k Laughs Festival, a multi-day event that brings top national and regional comedians to Minneapolis stages. Drawing on his small-town Minnesota upbringing and personal experiences, Katzner blends honest storytelling with silly insights, making him a standout voice in the city’s comedy scene and beyond.

Amalgam Improv Presents: Story-prov Where Stories Meet Improv Comedy!
Everyone has a story. But not everyone is lucky enough to have their story brought to life through improv!
In Story-prov, storytellers take the stage to share captivating, real-life tales that improvisers use as inspiration for their scenes. The result is a high-energy blend of narrative and improv, where nothing is planned and the only guide is the story. Every show is unique and unforgettable!
This month’s storytellers are stand-up comedian legend Peter Jurich and improviser extraordinaire Max Olmsted!
Note: While we aim for a PG-13-rated show, some “naughty” bits may happen. Audience discretion is advised!
COST: FREE - Donations are encouraged. No RSVP required.
This show will be INSIDE. Breese Stevens - Forward Club - Enter via Gate 6.

Cheshire Cat Comedy Presents...An Evening of Stand-Up with Jimmy Cash
Comedian Jimmy Cash began performing in 2016 as a way to keep him grounded from the glory of his day job, an elementary school janitor. On stage, Jimmy draws from a wide range of his life experiences including his last twenty years as a janitor, being a dad, and his longterm sobriety.
Before becoming an in demand national headliner in his own rite, he has been fortunate enough to work with such talents as Joe Dombrowski, Shane Gillis, Bill Burr, Lenny Clarke, Robert Kelly and was comedian Bob Marley's dedicated opener for several years.
You may recognize Jimmy from his massive following on TikTok and Instagram or his viral videos that have been featured on Barstool Sports many times. He proudly plays the Fenway Park Groundskeeper in the long running Plymouth Rock Assurance ad campaign, The Bostonians. His life and career have been featured in countless publications and news stations including The Boston Globe.
Jimmy travels throughout the United States and Canada performing at clubs and theaters, and also performs private shows at schools for teachers and support staff. He most recently sold out the legendary Wilbur Theater in Boston, MA.

Words with Nerds is produced by Best of Madison-winner Cheshire Cat Comedy and began in 2022 as a monthly event on the third Thursday of every month at Crucible, Madison’s premier alternative arts club. The showcase has since blossomed into a featured showcase at locations such as The Forward Club at Breese Stevens Field; Comedy Cabin in Janesville, WI; and The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago, IL. Presenters span entrepreneurs, educators, researchers, activists, union organizers, surgeons, engineers, and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.
Every now and then, Words with Nerds adds in a little splash of something extra; past examples include Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty performing a burlesque number and Batman doing stand-up comedy.
Parties interested in presenting at Words with Nerds are invited to send their pitches to cheshirecatcomedyco@gmail.com.
