86’d: The Service Industry Pity Party

After a full day of culinary excellence, it’s time for the hospitality industry to finally get the last laugh.

Hosted by Milwaukee's own Derek Mosely, the Service Industry Pity Party closes out Saturday night with a hilarious, no-holds-barred showcase featuring local chefs, bartenders, servers, restaurateurs, and hospitality professionals reading their most outrageous, over-the-top, and painfully absurd online reviews live on stage. Curated from real submissions by the readers themselves, this late-night experience shines a spotlight on the wildly dramatic world of self-proclaimed food critics, impossible guests, and one-star meltdowns.

From complaints that make absolutely no sense to brutally entitled takes on dining experiences, the audience will quickly realize the true comedy lies with the reviewers themselves. Equal parts therapy session, roast, and celebration of service industry survival, this is a must-see event for anyone who’s ever worked in hospitality—or simply enjoys watching the internet embarrass itself in public.
