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.

The Bodega Series, sponsored by Lauer Realty Group and Park Bank, is returning to Madison’s Historic Breese Stevens Field for its ninth year.

Madison’s favorite nighttime, local artisan market will feature five Thursdays and two Fridays during the 2025 season: April 24th, May 29th, June 26th, August 7th, September 5th, September 26th, and October 23rd

The Bodega remains true to its roots, created with Wisconsin-based, small businesses in mind. The Bodega at Breese Stevens Field will again welcome over 60 local artisans and food vendors from Madison and surrounding areas in our beloved Wisconsin. Products vary from an array of crafts, handcrafted jewelry, curated boutiques, candles, soaps, unique artwork, sweet treats, savory eats, and more! 

In addition to the incredible local businesses, Bodega attendees can expect children's activities, various entertainment, yard games, and plenty of field space to soak up the beautiful summer and fall evenings in Downtown Madison. Beer and wine will be available to sip while perusing the array of vendors. What began as a way to engage local vendors and crafters in a sustainable community event, has blossomed into a cornerstone of Summer and Fall in Madison; a place where all are welcome to enjoy the history, culture and atmosphere at Madison’s premier outdoor venue, The Historic Breese Stevens Field.

The Bodega is a free admission event that serves the community as a platform for small local businesses to reach shoppers in a fun, relaxing, entertaining, and safe environment. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or utilize the local parking garages available within mere blocks from the facility. Make sure not to forget your reusable bags and a collapsible wagon bag for all your sought after goods!

New in 2025, the Bodega will feature unique themes and corresponding activities for folks of all ages.  Beginning with the first date in our 2025 Bodega series, April 24th will focus on blossoming Spring and Earth Day themes, showcasing how amazing our planet is and how we can help do our part in protecting and giving back to our beautiful planet. Who knows? You just may find some leftover eggs from the easter bunny lying around the field as well. In May, we turn our focus to the fast approaching end-of-the-school-year and a school’s out celebration, letting our kiddos know they have done a terrific job keeping their grades up and also acknowledging the work that our teachers have put in over the entire course of the year as well. Be sure to keep an eye on all the Breese Stevens Field socials for more!

This will be The Flaming Lips’ first US shows since they toured last year with Weezer and Dinosaur Jr. They also recently celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots with an expanded edition of the album and released a 25th anniversary zoetrope vinyl of The Soft Bulletin.

Modest Mouse completed a tour at the end of 2024 celebrating the 20th anniversary of Good News For People Who Love Bad News, where they played the seminal record from start to finish. The tour followed the release of an expanded edition of the album that helped them break out of the rock underground after more than a decade of existence.

About The Flaming Lips:

Formed in Oklahoma City, OK in 1983, The Flaming Lips have since become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable, and vital forces in American alternative rock music. The band has garnered three GRAMMY® Awards, a Tony nomination, and an RIAA Gold-certified Record for Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Q Magazine named them one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die.” The band has made countless late-night television appearances, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial, contributed to many film soundtracks, and collaborated with artists such as Miley Cyrus, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Kacey Musgraves, Yoko Ono, The Chemical Brothers, and many more.

Most recently, The LIPS have recorded an album of Nick Cave covers featuring vocalist Nell Smith called “Where The Viaduct Blooms.” They have set countless records, broken attendance records, have a hometown street named in their honor, created spectacular interactive audio/visual events now regarded as legendary. Frontman Wayne Coyne has been recognized for works of art that graced many LIPS album covers along with his traveling art exhibit (and subsequent album) “The King’s Mouth,” an audiovisual art installation that has been featured in many contemporary art museums around the US.

Their latest LP, American Head, marks a return to a more melodic and song-oriented body of work and has critically been lauded as their best work in years, placing on several “Year End/Best Of lists” around the world. Even after a combination of 23 studio recordings, 16 singles, 11 compilations, 12 EPs and 11 self-released experimental collaborative oddities released in various forms, quantities and unique mediums, The Flaming Lips remain in a creative apex that has no bounds. To that end, they have become an American Treasure and created a genre all to themselves.

About Modest Mouse:

Founded in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington bursting on the indie scene with 1996’s This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About. They went on to achieve their first #1 album on the Billboard Top 200 in 2007 with their album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

The band released their seventh studio album with 2021’s The Golden Casket. Variety reviewed the album, saying “the group continues to make inscrutable and unpredictable music far removed from the pop charts.” The band has toured relentlessly since its founding, proving themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today.

They’ve most recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which featured their hit “Float On” and earned them a Grammy Nomination, and the 25th anniversary of The Lonesome Crowded West. They subsequently toured on both albums, performing each from start to finish. They toured extensively with The Pixies and Cat Power in 2023 and 2024.
