Featuring:OLIVER YU grew up in Brooklyn, move to Philly for college, developed an unhealthy co-dependent relationship with this city and has never been able to leave. I enjoy milkshakes, coffee, and sandwiches. I’ve been doing standup for a little over a year trying to produce something nourishing on stage because I’m terrible in the kitchen. I recently joined a newly formed Philadelphia based sketch group: Kids With Rickets.
Featuring: MIKE LOGAN is a 23 year old single guy living in the city that sleeps on a futon, eats shitty food, and drink excessive amounts of whiskey. Whether you relate to him or look down on him, youre probably going to laugh at him. Probably.
Host: JAY WEST is a relative newcomer to the stand-up comedy scene, though he has been hosting comedy podacasts over the last 3 years (Eclectic Shock, The Donkey Show). He currently hosts a Monthly show (Comedy: Period) and a weekly open mic (Jay West Like’s Comedy and Connies Ric Rac).
