LOL WITH IT: R. Eric Thomas @ Camp Tabu, tonight!

Every Friday, Ryan Carey covers the people and events that are giving Philly the giggles.

This Friday, First Person Arts fave R. Eric Thomas (pictured) will co-host the Gayborhood's most popular alternative comedy show, Camp Tabu at, you guessed it, Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar (200 S. 12th St.). Event organizer Alejandro Morales always features a different comedian at each show to co-host and do a longer feature set later in the evening. Thomas — a playwright, teaching artist and standup dramedian — has been touted as one of Philly's most talented LGBTQ storytellers. His one-man show Will You Accept This Friend Request? premiered during November's First Person Festival to a sold-out run.

Also appearing with Morales and Thomas this Friday will be Chip Chantry, Aaron Hertzog, Mike Logan, LaTice, TJ Hurley, Stephen Harman and Natalie Levant. If you haven't checked out Camp Tabu yet, it's only $5 and comes with a drink ticket. Morales boasts a regular audience count of 50-75 people. "It's really exciting," he says, "because it's a chance for young comedians to come and do a show in front of a real crowd that isn't filled with other comedians."

By the by, Natalie Levant has been making splashes, and has a funny video from her set across the river at Sarcasm comedy club in Cherry Hill. "I'm broke, I'm post-post-post-post-post-post menopausal, and I hate kids and old people. I'm a poor, dried-up bitch. What am I doing here? Well that's easy, I'm disgracing my family."
