Sketchubator! LIVE
Philly Sketchfest and My First Sketch return to Tattooed Mom to host another live and in-person sketch comedy open mic. Comedians all over Philadelphia can sign up at sketchubator.com/signup to read and perform their sketches with the help of some of the most experienced and funniest sketch writers and performers in the area. Hosted by Josh Higham of My First Sketch, Sketchubator is a chance for the city’s sketch comedians to hang out, have a drink, eat some food, and share some laughs. Sketches, character bits, and monologues should be under five minutes with the hopefully unnecessary reminder that Philly Sketchfest will not condone hateful material.

Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar // Philly Fringe — TWO Performances!
Don’t miss a unique queer solo show, here at TMoms for just 2 performances during Philly Fringe!
20th-century fem(me)/butch lesbian bars come to life in a solo dance/theatre performance. Maggie Cee explores her years as a teenage gay rights activist, her own identity, and fem history – illuminating the feminine women whose stories are too often forgotten, but whose strength and determination paved the way for LGBTQIA+ rights decades before Stonewall.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH
TWO PERFORMANCES: 3PM & 6PM
NO COVER // FREE FUN
RSVP: FB EVENT | FRINGE ARTS
Called a “major highlight” of the Hartford Fringe Festival by Christopher Arnott, who said: “Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar: 1938-1969…sweetly explored the femme/butch dichotomy in lesbian bars over half a century ago. Cee is a graceful, down-to-earth performer who’s passionate about her subject…and tells it through dance, pre-recorded voices, oral histories, fictional characters and well-chosen music.”
