He has opened for a number of national comedians such as Michael Che, Dave Attell, Roy Wood Jr., Kyle Kinane and more. He is also one of the co-founders of the Lehigh Valley with Love ComedyPlatz at Musikfest and can be heard hosting both the \u201cClicking and Screaming\u201d and \u201cTee\u2019d Up\u201d podcasts.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>David James \u2013 Saturday, Sept. 5\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia\u2019s David James slays the city night after night, with one of his biggest achievements being beating all of his fellow comedians at the Helium Comedy Club\u2019s first-annual \u201cPhilly\u2019s Phunniest\u201d Competition. Since then, he has performed at countless colleges, bars, private shows and clubs.

His first comedy special, &#8220;Good Grief,&#8221; is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Tickle is the father of two kids, ages 7 and 1. They have a real C3PO and R2D2 dynamic, so that makes him Chewbacca, we think?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mary Radzinski \u2013 Saturday, Sept. 19\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This Philadelphia-based comedian is a regular feature at numerous comedy clubs including Helium and Goodnights, and she has opened for a number of national comedians such as Dave Attell, Jim Norton, Sarah Colonna, Rosie O\u2019Donnell and more.
