PhilaMOCA proudly presents Emo Philips 10/2 opener: The Incredible Shrinking Matt & Jacquie 10/3 opener: The Legendary Wid Both nights hosted by Robert Ecks Doors 7:30, Show 8:00 $20 advance, $24 door Emo Philps Described by Jay Leno as "the best joke writer in America," and considered by many, including "Weird Al" Yankovic, as one of the funniest people on the planet, Emo Philips has performed over 6000 times throughout the English-speaking world (including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theater in London's West End). Since starting out, at the age of twenty, in Chicago in 1976, Emo has had award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO), and many appearances on network television, in both America and the UK. He has appeared in films (most notably, as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF) and has lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (such as Doctor Katz and Home Movies), but his first love, stand-up, remains his true one. http://www.emophilips.com The Incredible Shrinking Matt & Jacquie (10/2 opener) The Incredible Shrinking Matt & Jacquie are a best friend sketch comedy duo that dwells in the dark and dabbles in the absurd. Matt & Jacquie are doomed idiots with a lot of heart, and so are their characters. They won the Dirtiest Sketch In Philadelphia competition in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and were nominated for a 2015 Philebrity award for Comedy Act of The Year. They have performed in the Philly Sketchfest, NYC Sketch Fest, and appeared in the 2015 Philly Fringe Festival production of Night Trolley. THE LEGENDARY WID (10/3 opener) Wid is one of the funniest people to ever come from New Jersey. Since his humble beginnings in Cranford, NJ, THE LEGENDARY WID went on to become the undisputed Prince of Props and Puns! In fact, when you look up "Prop Comedian" in the encyclopedia, it says, "THE LEGENDARY WID". He is also the subject of an award-winning documentary film titled WID by Jason Ferraro and Brian Galla. From his sold out shows at New York's The Bottom Line in the early 80s to his frequent TV appearances ever since, THE LEGENDARY WID has always been an audience favorite. WID uses props and puns to hilarious effect. He has hosted TV shows such as VH-1's "Top 20 Countdown" and appeared on "Stand-Up Spotlight". He has appeared on "Make Me Laugh" on Comedy Central and "Comedy On The Road" and "Caroline's Comedy Hour" on A&E, "The ABC Comedy Club Special" and "30 Seconds To Fame" on FOX. WID also appears on the best selling DVD "Laughing Out Loud - America's Funniest Comedians" along with Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen Degeneres, Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, Drew Carey and Jay Leno. Robert Ecks Robert Ecks is a collection of atoms based out of Philadelphia. MetroPhilly calls him a “non linear humorist." In 2014 he was named the "Comedy Act of the Year" by Philebrity.com. WP Johnson writes of Robert, "he has one of the most unusual voices in comedy," which is hopefully a compliment. PhilaMOCA 531 N. 12th Street Philadelphia, PA 19123 http://www.philamoca.org
