On Monday, members of the Philadelphia comedy community gathered at The Shubin Theater for a special edition of Chip Chantry’s One Man Show (with Special Guests) in which we roasted our friend Meg Favreau, who will soon be departing to move to Los Angeles. The whole roast has made its way online on Philly Improv Theater’s Youtube Page – or you could find them all posted on Philly comedy website WitOut.
My friend LukeGiordano started a new podcast a few weeks ago called The I Suck at Stand-Up Comedy Podcast (click for itunes link). It’s a really cool idea for a show, in which Luke listens to one of his bits, breaks it down, and basically goes through the rewriting process for listeners to hear. It’s a great way to see how the stand-up comedy sausage is made, if you’re into that kind of stuff. This week, I join him to break down one of my own bits, add some ideas, and talk about what does and doesn’t work when telling a joke about Rocky Balboa outside the city of Philadelphia. Check it out here!
Hey Everybody! For a few years, the Philadelphia comedy scene had an internet home at Comic Vs. Audience – but about a year ago, the site shut down so its writer Dave could concentrate on grad school and his busy schedule.
Today, a new website launches that will report on all the goings on in Philadelphia Comedy. WITOUT.NET will feature interviews, show reviews, and already has a comprehensive list of open mics, performers, groups and upcoming shows in the Philadelphia area. It will be the new hub for all the information you need about comedy in Philly. Check out the website, and follow them on Twitter for all your Philadelphia Comedy news.
I will be doing shows tonight (Thursday, February 17th) through Sunday at Helium Comedy Club (2031 Sansom Street Philadelphia.) I will be hosting the shows for headliner Rob Riggle and feature act Geoff Tate.
This week, Aaron is joined by Pete Kuempel in the Raleigh/ Durham Airport where they discuss Michael Jordan’s rumored old man comeback, Dennis Rodman’s number retirement, Jerry Sloan and Deron Williams and more basketball related stuff.
In this week’s episode, Gregg and Aaron discuss the tragedy that was Gregg’s 8th birthday party, the over-saturation of the Wu-Tang Clan and No Limit Records, Ed Rendell as the ideal “bear” and read excerpts from NBA fan fiction.
