About The Dead Alewives

The Dead Alewives were an improvisational comedy troupe during the 1980s and 1990s from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Like other similar groups, such as The State and Upright Citizen's Brigade, they did not get a lot of press during their active life, but the group's individual members have gone on to become noteworthy since the group's breakup. The Dead Alewives approached widespread recognition many times but never seemed to enjoy the push that would launch them to national prominence. Their Dungeons and Dragons sketch from the comedy CD Take Down the Grand Master made the rounds on the internet during the late 1990s. The short also was one of the most-requested on the syndicated Dr. Demento radio program. Entertainment Weekly also once reported that the Dead Alewives were being talked to about a television sketch-comedy series, but it ultimately fell through. The Dead Alewives ceased their weekly live performances in the late '90's, and the individual members all moved on to pursue other interests.
