Open Mic News

Starting next month, The Famous International Variety Show, formerly at the Copabanana on 40th Street, returns to Sunday nights at Connie’s Ric Rac. This would mark another addition to the ever-expanding comedy line-up at the Ric Rac. Hosted by Darryl Charles, James Hesky, and Mykal Carter Jackson, the mic starts back up on February 13th at 7PM, 1132 S. 9th St.

Also, rumor has it that a new Monday open mic will come to the Fairmount area starting in March. This would be on top of the existing Monday open mic, Comedy on the Grille. More on that when the details come.

Philly Comedy Round-up, Vol. 1

Video of the Feeko Brothers’ Dirtiest Sketch Contest-winning sketch is online. Warning: it is simultaneously NSFW, revolting, and hysterical. [YouTube]

Bedtime Stories is tonight at Connie’s Ric Rac. The theme this month is “The Worst Night of Your Life.” [Facebook Event]

Quizzo Bowl VII, hosted by Philly comic Johnny Goodtimes has a promo video up starring Goodtimes, other Philly comic Chip Chantry, and city favorite “Fastball Pitcher” Bob Gutierrez. [YouTube]

The Holding Court Podcast continues to go strong, now into its thirteenth episode. The podcast, hosted by Aaron Hertzog and Gregg Gethard, is all about pro basketball, but rarely discusses it. [Holding Court Podcast]

The Get Offended Comedy Contest is next month at Connie’s Ric Rac and has a gigantic line-up with such offensive and profane heavyweights like Mayo, Brendan Kennedy, and Mike Rainey. Horrible things about people’s mothers/Jesus will be surely said. [Facebook Event]

Steve Gerben has been on a roll with videos recently, having put out New Age Medic a few weeks ago. Last week, he put out another: DADT Chess. [YouTube]

Ryan Carey has a weekly column in City Paper about the comedy scene in Philly called LOL With It. This week he documents some big time comedians who started out right here in this fair city. [City Paper]
