At the wacky Brownstone, we’re used to laughter—sometimes people are laughing with us, many times they’re laughing at us—but they’re almost always laughing. Now, we’re gonna take it up several notches with Brownstone’s first 3rd in the Burg Comedy Show.

Join us this Friday, August 20, from 8 - 10 PM for a five-act comedy show with some of Pennsylvania’s top up-and-coming young comedians. Come in early for Happy Hour (6-8) and stake out your seat for the comedy show. No seat? No worries! We hope to have you rolling in the aisles anyway.

We hope to see for a fun night of top comedy talent. And stick around afterwards, the Brownstone will kick its usual Friday nigh shenanigans into high gear at 10 PM.
