Comedy clubs are a great way to
spend a night in Philadelphia...or anywhere, for that matter.
The talent ranges from slow and observational to ripping insults
that keep the audience on guard at all times. Whatever the
style, the bottom line is fun and entertainment, and as a result
we love visiting comedy clubs when out on the road. This
page contains information on some of the top venues in the city.
David Brenner's Laugh House
221 South Street
(215)440-4242
This club, which is co-owned by comedian David Brenner,
features outstanding comedy in a setting that accommodates
around two hundred and fifty people. This setting tends to
attract larger talent, although there are always opportunities
for locals to strut their stuff. We have yet to see
someone bomb here, so whoever's booking this place is doing a
bang-up job. It's South Street location makes it
convenient and easily-accessible. Definitely check out the
Laugh House, and you'll walk away doing just that.
Comedy Cabaret
1010 Race Street
At the Clarion Suites Hotel
(215)625-JOKE
The Comedy Cabaret serves up
heaping helpings of quality comedy on a nightly basis.
Please note that there is a two-drink minimum, but you'll have
no problem covering that, right? Again, lots of local and
national talent combine for a very entertaining experience.
We absolutely recommend the Cabaret for a different kind of
night. It should also be noted that comedy classes are
offered here as well, so within weeks you can be offering witty
tidbits about ketchup bottles and airline food to your friends.
