LOL WITH IT: Philly comics-penned Down the Show screening @ Connie's Ric Rac, 8/17

POSTED: Friday, August 12, 2011, 2:00 PM

Each week, Ryan Carey takes a peep at who and what's giving Philly the giggles.

On Wednesday, Connie's Ric Rac will screen the second episode of Down The Show (DTS). DTS is an all-Philly underground comedy production written, performed and produced by our own comedy community, with Abigail Bruley at the helm. While she's not editing web content for NBC, or studying improv up at the UCB theatre, Abigail is hard at work toiling on DTS, her labor of love. "I plan on taking Down the Show all the way," she says. "I mean BIG. I'vP been submitting to TV pilot festivals and seeking out investors and what not — basically making it my full-time job."

The pilot episode (embedded below) featured Philly funny folks like The Feeko Brothes, The New Dreamz, Meg & Rob, Doogie Horner, Todd Shaeffer, Molly Silverman, Carolyn Busa and others. This second installment features some of the same folks, but Abigail was also excited to be working with Philly talent new to DTS.

The screening show at Connie's is hosted by Corey Cohen, and features live standup from Doogie Horner, sketches by Secret Pants and music comedy by Emily & Micah McGraw. Then the second episode of DTS will screen. The after-show party will include either DJ or karaoke, depending on the mood.

Wed., Aug. 17, 9 p.m., $5, Connie's Ric Rac, 1132 S. Ninth St., 215-279-7587, conniesricrac.com.
