KIMMEL CULTURAL CAMPUS, IN ASSOCIATION WITH OUTBACK PRESENTS, BRINGS THE WAIT WAIT STAND-UP TOUR TO PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 10, 2023
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (September 21, 2023) – The Kimmel Cultural Campus, in association with Outback Presents, is proud to The Wait Wait Stand-Up Tour at the Campus’ Miller Theater on November 10, 2023 at 7:00pm.
It’s the Wait Wait Stand-Up Tour — a night of stand-up-comedy featuring some of Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!’s funniest panelists. Wait Wait’s panelists are incredible — some of the most hilarious and insightful people in the country. You’ve heard them answering questions on Wait Wait; now here’s your chance to enjoy a full evening of their unfiltered stand-up comedy.
Your host is veteran stand-up and Wait Wait regular, Brian Babylon. Joining him in Philadelphia are Helen Hong, Negin Farsad, Maeve Higgins, and Mo Rocca! There never seems to be enough time on the weekly radio show to really get to know our incredibly talented and funny panelists. So, we’re taking them on tour and hope to see you there!
“Laughter has the remarkable ability to unite us,” said Matías Tarnopolsky, president and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center, Inc. “Joining our robust fall comedy lineup, the quick-witted panelists of Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me! will captivate audiences with conversations that are both humorous and thought-provoking.”
