The
Philadelphia Comedy Festival is making its debut this year!
Philadelphia has a rich history of successful comedians such
as Bill Cosby, David Brenner, Ralph Harris, Kevin Hart and
Keith Robinson, to name a few.
Located on the
famous SOUTH STREET, the
LAFF HOUSE COMEDY CLUB
is often called Philadelphia “original comedy club”,
as it has been entertaining audiences for more than 25
years. It is one of the most popular venues for emerging
comedians as well as established acts in today’s market,
blending a wide variety of comedic styles and talents.
The LAFF HOUSE
currently has a lineup of diverse entertainment ranging from
amateur nights to world renowned professionals. Our goal is
to create an atmosphere that is conducive to fun, laughter
and just a great time. In a society that is plagued with a
myriad of social ills the best anecdote is laughter.
Some of the acts
that have graced the Laff House stage:
Kevin Hart, Dom
Irrera, Mike Epps, Lisa Lampanelli, John Witherspoon, Elayne
Boosler, Michael Colyar and many, many more…..
In1985 the doors of
the “Funny Bone”, opened to the public, offering
adults an alternative to the club and restaurant scene on
south street. The Funny Bone provides budding humorist a
soapbox to stand on. The Funny Bone underwent a
series of transformations when it became “Catch a Rising
Star”. This further solidified the club’s objective to
focus on emerging talent. The comedy club remained loyal to
amateur comedians while increasing their recruitment of
well-known humorists. Famed comedian David Brenner
created more exposure while also attracting more nationally
recognized comedians when he allowed his name to be used by
the comedy club and called it “David Brenner’s Laugh
House”. The Comedy Club went through yet another
transition in December of 1997; the club took the name
LAFF HOUSE to capture the flavor so popular in today’s
comedy market.

For Comedy.
