Step Inside: Punch Line Philly in Philadelphia, PA

Punch Line Philly History

When Punch Line Philly opened in 2016, every detail of its modern industrial vibe was taken into consideration. There’s an outdoor patio facing the chic Callback Bar and a separate outdoor stage. The Punch Line sits adjacent to the Fillmore Philly in the bustling waterfront Fishtown entertainment district, and there’s no better place to spend an evening in the City of Brotherly Love.

Punch Line Philly Performers

The first comedians to grace the Punch Line Philly stage were Dave Chappelle and Russell Peters, and much like other Punch Line clubs around the country, Punch Line Philly books the best comedians in the business. Aparna Nancherla and Marlon Wayans have performed here, as well as Nikki Glaser and Portland comedy icons Amy Miller and Ron Funches. If you’re feeling lavish, the world-famous Drag Brunch goes down every Saturday at 11:00 a.m. with comedy, dancing, drag queens, mimosas and “the most fun you’ll ever have at brunch.”
