Patriotic Comedy with Comic Energy
An onstage comedy about our great country. Comic Energy reveals American history the way it may have happened.
June 12, 2006 — Comic Energy Sketch Comedy Troupe, based in South Philadelphia will perform “Comic Energy Does America”, June 29th thru July 2nd at the Shubin Theatre.
The show will take a look at the history of America with Comic Energy’s take on some of the more important events during the birth of America, the transformation of America and some highlights through history that Comic Energy tabs as noteworthy.
A typical ingredient at any Comic Energy show would be the most unexpected ending to many of their sketches, as C.E. goes where you wouldn’t expect them to go. This has paralleled them to the likeness of comedy giant “Second City” of Chicago.
The troupe is lead by James Daly a veteran performer and former Phillies Dancing Usher and features an array of local and talented performers, whose eyes are clearly on one goal
putting Philly on television.
Comic Energy has started filming their pilot episode for a television distributor based in Florida and they exhibit a confidence that this show not only can work but will work.
This show will feature a different look at Benjamin Franklin’s discovery of electricity, the Declaration of Independence, the Boston Tea Party, and much, much more.
“Our show starts with pre-America and exhibits in the very beginning what we believe fueled our nation’s forefathers to standup against the British and start this great nation”, says Daly.
Producing a comedy show about America can be a touchy a subject to hit, but Comic Energy does it light-heartily and makes you laugh at the same time.
The story starts with the Boston Tea Party and takes us into the future of America where our president in 2020 is…well Comic Energy won’t reveal it just yet, but from the way I asked James Daly it would seem to be out in left field.
“Comic Energy Does America” runs June 29th through July 2nd at the Shubin Theatre (407 Bainbridge Street). For tickets and show information call 215-514-7508, or visit Comic Energy online at www.comicenergy.com.
