About the event:
Welcome to the Blind Tiger: Philly's premiere hidden Prohibition-era party running over a decade in different hidden locations around the city. The Blind Tiger is an ambient experience that comes in the form of a 1920s speakeasy party that errs on the side of reenactment. So, don your best vintage duds, cozy up to the bar for specialty 20s cocktails made by accomplished Philly mixologists, and prepare yourself for a night of shenanigans, mingling, musical fun, and red hot burlesque from the best local talent in the business.

The City Wide Sessions Returns! Hosted by Dan Kalowitz
Are you up to Jam with the best of Philly?
ARE YOU A MUSICIAN LOOKING TO JOIN THE JAM? RSVP FOR FREE ENTRY BELOW!
The last City Wide Sessions jam at Heritage Jazz in 2023 brought together a real mix of players—familiar faces, new voices, and the kind of easy collaboration that only happens when the room feels right. It’s the kind of night people still bring up.
Now, City Wide Sessions is returning—this time at Velvet Whip, with the possibility of becoming a monthly hang.
The idea is simple: create a consistent space where musicians across Philly can show up, sit in, experiment, and connect. A room that welcomes both seasoned players and newer artists, without pressure—just good energy and openness. It also creates a real opportunity for younger musicians to learn firsthand—playing alongside a high-quality house band, picking up the unspoken language of live performance in real time.
Nothing forced—just a good room, good people, and the music building from there.
The Tight 5-Comedy open mic + Karaoke w/Dr. Thunder
Free entry. Community energy. Two ways to take the mic.
Join us for Tight 5 Comedy Open Mic hosted by Ebony Moore from 7–8:30PM, then keep the night going with Karaoke with Dr. Thunder from 9PM–Midnight. Come laugh, sing, meet people, support local talent, and help build the kind of creative community where everyone gets a turn.
COMICS! WE CAN RECORD YOUR SET AT REQUEST, BRING YOUR PHONE OR A USB!
SET IS BETWEEN 5-15 MIN

The Naked Comedy Show: Best Stand-up Comedy in Philadelphia without Pants
NAKED & FUNNY
About this event
Arts • Comedy

🗺️The first show runs 7-8:20. Doors open at 6 for early drinks. The second show runs 9-10:20. Doors open at 8:40, and the bar will stay open after the show for those who wish to mingle. This event is 21+.
🃏There are two different line-ups at the 7pm and 9pm shows, each with five or six comics plus the host, Billy Procida. This won't be a bunch of wacky exhibitionist open mikers — these are some of Philadelphia's funniest!

***All refund requests will be granted up to 24 hrs before the event. If you want to switch to the other show in a night or use your tickets for a different date, message the organizer in advance to make that change for no additional cost.***
The safety and comfort of our performers and guests is our top priority. Please do not approach comics or contact them online with sexual language or a suggestive tone. The best compliment you can say is: "You were so funny." If you're 'excited' to see comedians naked, that's okay! Just keep that thought to yourself in your head where it doesn't hurt anyone. You don't want to hurt someone, right? And if you're excited to see a naked comedy show, hey, this note isn't even for you. You're going to have such a fun night!

Late Night SAX & SILHOUETTE
Five beats, two performers, one room.
The poster's noir-illustration DNA — amber light, deep shadow, that hand-painted warmth — gets rendered as living cinema. The story runs: the saxophonist opens the room, the audience settles in, the dancer arrives and takes over, the two reach a peak together, and the final frame is her silhouette against the glow as the last note fades.
It’s Sax, it’s sapio and it’s velvet.
FEELING ADVENTUROUS?
SEE TWO SHOWS WITH ONE TICKET “THE GOLDEN AGE TO NOW WITH GREG FARNESE & BROOKE FALLS” & “LATE NIGHT SAX & SILHOUETTE”
The Golden Age to NOW- with Greg Farnese & Brooke Falls
The Golden Age to Now is a curated, review-style performance
featuring 20 songs delivered over 90 minutes, exploring the arc of vocal music from classic standards to modern interpretations.
Running 8:00–9:30PM, the program is designed as a continuous, immersive experience — polished, dynamic, and deeply connected to the tradition of live performance.
About Greg Farnese:
Greg Farnese is a musician rooted in tradition yet driven by curiosity. With a deep respect for the Great American Songbook and the elegance of classic performance, Greg brings a seasoned musicality that feels both refined and effortlessly human. His approach is never about imitation—it’s about interpretation. Whether at the piano or shaping the arc of a set, he channels the spirit of the golden era while allowing space for spontaneity, nuance, and connection. The result is a sound that feels timeless, intimate, and quietly powerful.
About Brooke Falls:
Brooke Falls is a vocalist whose presence feels both modern and magnetic. With a voice that moves fluidly between warmth and edge, she brings emotional clarity to every lyric she touches. Her style draws from contemporary influences while remaining grounded in storytelling—making each performance feel personal, immediate, and alive. Brooke doesn’t just sing songs—she inhabits them, creating moments that are as visually compelling as they are sonically rich.
