The Ministry of Secret Jokes

For the monthly stand-up showcase, host Doogie Horner—Philly’s reigning king of comedy—is accompanied by a rotating cast of comics who engage in a variety of ridiculous of games like a pie-eating contest in which the comedians have to tell pie jokes while scarfing down pie or a “Worst Best Man” speech competition.

Second or third Wed. of the month. 8pm. Free. Fergie’s Pub, 1214 Sansom St. 215.928.8118. fergiespub.com
