Punch Line Philly History
When Punch Line Philly opened in 2016, owner and operator Live Nation took every detail into consideration for the modern industrial vibe of this comedy crown jewel of Philadelphia. 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.
