The organizers of several of the city’s stand-up open mics (The Famous International Variety Show, Comedy X-Change, Rittenhouse Comedy, and Center City Comedy) have put together a seventy comedian tournament-style stand-up comedy competition to coincide with college basketball’s March Madness this month. Across four nights each week, the first seventy will be narrowed down to 40 the first week, to 16 the second, then to eventually to the Elite 8 on the third week, who will compete in the finals — taking place at the end of the month at Mad River in Manayunk.
The first round began this week, with eighteen competitors being narrowed down to ten on each night at The Famous International Variety Show Sunday and Comedy X-Change on Monday. Here are the results from Sunday night:
Ian Fidance
Jamil B
Tommy Pancrazio
Shea McGiveny
Jason Falco
Steve Slaughter
Matt Reiss
Dan Knabb
Tim Ryan
Brandon Ketchup Wilson
And from Monday night:
Jon Delcollo
Steve Lichtenstein
Noah Houlihan
David Agekum
Alex Gross
Dave Primiano
Pat Barker
Erin Mulville
Sean Preston
Jess Carpenter

In the age of new media, the podcast is everywhere — providing a sort of replacement for the radio show and can be on any specific or esoteric subject matter available to be talked about. There are a lot of podcasts by comedians and about comedy, but also a few around by Philadelphia comedians. Here’s the rundown of the ones we know of:
Bird Text
 Who does it? Bird Text! (John McKeever, Tommy Pope, and Luke Cunningham)
How many episodes so far? Just one. But to be fair, they just started last week.
Could you describe it to me? Couple of dudes hanging out. Lots of fast-paced banter. They talk about anything — from inside comedy to just shooting the shit.
How would you rate it? Superb!

Cheapodcast
 Who does it? Bosom buddies James Hesky and Darryl Charles. Sometimes Mykal Carter Jackson.
How many episodes so far? Nine and going strong!
Could you describe it to me? It’s sort of like Bird Text, in that it is a couple of friends being funny and talking about random stuff, but James and Darryl are nicer and they don’t talk as fast as Tommy Pope. But there are few who do.
How would you rate it? Fantastic!

The Feeko Factor
 Who does it? The Feeko Brothers!
How many episodes so far? Eighteen, but there hasn’t been a new one in almost a year. It is either done or just on hiatus.
Could you describe it to me? Bizarre. Lots of weird and funny bits. The Feekos eventually lose their show to irritating radio heel Josh Justice. This podcast was most likely conceived with the premise of “how much can we subject our audience to before they can’t take it anymore?” But that just makes the insanity of it all even funnier.
How would you rate it? Stupendous!

Good Talkin’ with Mike & Jay
 Who does it? Mike Marbach and Jay Piazza
How many episodes so far? Seven — hasn’t been updated in a little while.
Could you describe it to me? Mike and Jay record their phone conversations, talking about whatever comes up naturally — just like two friends would do on the phone!
How would you rate it? Truly wonderful!
