TONIGHT: Rittenhouse Comedy @ Noche

Martin & Goodman (Toni Bourgeois)

Local dentist Paul Goodman and Philly comedy mainstay Jack Martin have teamed up to run a Tuesday night open mic at Noche. Their collaboration started when Goodman produced a comedy contest benefiting Operation Smile in August of 2010. It was the first time comedy was done at Noche but comedians from the area were gracious enough to donate their time.

Since then, Goodman and Martin have been hosting Rittenhouse Comedy every Tuesday. Tonight, they'll feature a free showcase hosted by Boston Comedy Festival winner Sean Quinn, featuring established local talent like Chip Chantry and David James. And for those inspired by the show, an open mic will follow. Even though it's known primarily as an eatery, Goodman says Noche is a fantastic spot for comedians to come drop a few funnies. "Noche constructed a removable stage for performance," he says. "The comedians love the room and the staff, [seem] to look forward to comedy Tuesdays each week." For the event, Noche will be offering Philly Beer Week giveaways and specials.

Tonight, 8-10 p.m., free, Noche, 1901 Chestnut St., 215-568-0551, noche215.com.
