Calling all Wanna Be Comedians!
The Lehigh Valley’s ORIGINAL Comedy Open Mic Night

Here’s your chance to try out your materials in the Fishbowl of Comedy!

Tickle Me TRYOUTS – an open mic comedy night – every other Sunday in the Fishbowl at the Bethlehem Brew Works. Local amateur comedians will be given five-minutes to try out their best jokes – no experience necessary, all are welcome!

The Lehigh Valley is becoming known as a comedy destination among comedians. Local amateur performers and established talents from New York City and Philadelphia are all abuzz in online communities about the area’s hunger for nightclub style comedy acts. These comedy makers are excited that they can now play another venue because the Bethlehem Brew Works now hosts the Lehigh Valley’s ORIGINAL Comedy Open Mic Night, Tickle Me Tryouts in our glass enclosed room called “The Fishbowl.” Every other Sunday local amateurs get their chance to tryout their material in front of an audience and test the waters. Newcomers to the comedy scene are encouraged to take the plunge as well, which can add a different type of comedy altogether (kind of night like the laughs you can get from a fabulously off-key karaoke duet of ‘Candle in the Wind’).

Hosting this event is local comedian Randy Tonge, from Breinigsville, who will add wit, style, and guaranteed laughs to the event. In addition to hosting, Tonge is also fishing for new talent for the “Tickle me Tuesdays” events at the Allentown Brew Works, where Tonge is a regular crowd favorite.

The Brew Works is proud to add comedy to our Bethlehem location after seeing such success in Allentown, and we are using the Sunday night open mic night as a way to find fresh talent and allow it to develop. The overwhelming success of the “Tickle Me Tuesdays” shows held in ABW’s second floor High Gravity lounge has shown us that live comedy is something everyone wants or wants in on. Over the past year, thousands (yes, thousands) of comedy seekers have gone to the ABW Tuesday night comedy revue which features a mix of local amateurs and professional comics.

And now in Bethlehem, amateurs looking for a place to start and are willing to take the leap will get a chance at their big break…or just break wind.

Registration starts at 8:00pm and the comedy begins at 8:30pm.
