Forgive us for being so self-centered, but we get all tingly when we hear a rumor that has a new, giant comedy club coming into the Philly area. Perhaps it’s not so self-centered after all– Philly is, after all, the 8th-largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the USA. There are 4,539,926 just a short drive from here. With numbers like that, Philly could certainly be fertile ground for two… or three major comedy clubs! And if that happens, that means prosperity for more than just the handful of professional comics who still reside in the Delaware Valley… or within a short drive to the City of Brotherly Love. (Are you listening up there in NYC?) Where would it be erected or installed? Who might be behind it? Those Funny Bone people? They had a place on South St. for a few years back in the early 90s. The Improv? Wouldn’t that be nice. Maybe it’s Jamie Masada. He has a new place up on Times Square– maybe he’s making a bid at world domination! Speculation is nice, but we want hard information.
Now: If anyone has any credible information about this club, please send us an email here. Send it to editors@SHECKYmagazine.com and let us know if we can publish your little nugget of information…and if we can, may we attach your name to it. Thanks!
