Philly's Phinest!!! (Volume 1)

The Laff House is known for working with some of today's best comedians in the area. Many comedians who frequent the Laff House often grow to great success in the comedy circuit and we would like to tell you about some of our most promising comedians that you should look out for:

1) Monroe Martin - With a first place in a "Death at a Funeral" competition, and an original style unlike any other comedian in the area, Monroe Martin has certainly made a name for himself in the Philadelphia comedy scene. If there's a stage, you'll most likely find him on it, perfecting his material and making sure that everyone in the room cracking up. His relevant and fresh perspective on subjects such as relationship issues and personal health make his style of comedy relatable to anyone who see's him.

2) Chill Rell - Barely 20 years old and he's already found his place in the Philadelphia comedy scene. In his relatively young career in comedy, Chill Rell has already broken a Laff House record by being the youngest comedian to ever host a show. He has quickly moved up the ladder of success with his witty humor on subjects such as uncomfortable public transportation encounters and awkward social situations with females. You can see Chill Rell at the Laff House on most days or wherever a comedy show is happening in the Philly area.

You can keep up with Chill Rell by following him on Twitter @chillrell

3) H. Foley - An original comic for you and the guys. H. Foley has branded Philadlephia with his unmistakably hilarious style of comedic writing and universal appeal. With jokes focusing on subjects such as racial acceptance through food, and techniques on watching risque' videos, H. Foley is simply the kind of comedian you'd like to have a beer with.

You can see H. Foley host at the Laff House in September and keep up with him on YouTube:

4) Pretty Smilez - A Laff House favorite, Alfred "Pretty Smilez" Rogers found his comedic voice from everyday life. His jokes on project housing conundrums, roach population control, and abnormal access card purchases make his style comedy down to earth and as "real" as it gets. Pretty Smilez's wit and disregard for social acceptance make him one of Philadelphia's most honest comedians.

You can keep up with Pretty Smilez's upcoming events on his Facebook page:

5) Chris Cotton - Considered to be one of Philadelphia's best local comedians, Chris Cotton knows exactly what it takes to be hilarious on any level. His jokes on awkward misunderstandings on male sexuality and the complexities of maintaining relationships make his delivery and timing an ideal comic. No matter what walk of life you may come from, Chris Cotton can find the funny in any situation and make you laugh out loud.

Tonight is a special event at the Laff House. Comedian Sugar Bear will be hosting his monthly show "Funny Money"!

Here's how Funny Money works:

We're sure you're familiar with "street performers" who ask for tips, like the ones we have here on South street. What Sugar Bear does is bring comedians to the Laff House for your viewing pleasure, and you get to tip the comedian with whatever amount you see fit. The funnier you think the comic is, the better you can tip!

Show time is at 8 PM and tickets are $10

See you there!
