WHY A VIRTUAL COMEDY SHOWCASE? HOW WILL IT WORK?
Why not? We all need some laughs, and Philly's comedy scene needs some support. Countless performers, bars and restaurants have experienced lost revenue due to canceled shows and open mics.

To help, we're hosting a virtual comedy showcase. We've gathered some of Philly's funniest emerging and established comics to perform live standup for you. Grab a drink, login to Zoom on your computer or tablet (phones not recommended) & enjoy some jokes*. The cost is just $10 for your household, and all proceeds will go to the performers, as well as the venues who have supported us by hosting comedy-related events.

We will have lines unmuted so that we can have some live laughter - and make it as close as possible to the real thing! Please plan to view in an area with low background noise.
