Draft - Jordan Guerra's Links to Philly Area Comedians On Facebook

Stanley R. Pokras Hum, I've not been very useful at supporting local acts, but I'd like to be informed when someone I have met is performing... I'll make a point to be there.

Jordan Guerra That’s a kind thing to say, Stanley. I would definitely say there are sooo many talented comedians in this city. Nicole Phoenix does a monthly show that uplifts and gives a voice to black women, women of color and non binary performers, Hannah Trav has a very funny show coming up at Good Good, there are wonderful shows at Philly Improv Theatre and Classic Reinvention is definitely someone to watch. There are wonderful hosts including Vernon Keith Ruffin Jr. and comics who will never not make you laugh like Rachel Fogletto and Marlénas McMahon-Purk. There are monthly shows for all types like Jack Fitzsimmons‘ Snappy Pun series, Katonya Mosley‘s shows and diverse voices including Nichole Spain and Christian J. Mangual and there are comics who started or performed here who are crushing it nationally like Chanel Ali . honestly I’m just scratching the surface and I’m leaving out dozens more. Ronald Metellus, Dave Terruso, John Deary, Brandon Mitchell, Tiffany Walker, Beth Blinebury So give them all your support and your dollar dollar bills y’all because when the scene isn’t being toxic af, being shady, heckling each other, only supporting people they think can do something for them and just all around being problematic to people who aren’t white straight cis dudebros (or their proxy equivalents) it’s a wonderful place!
