Newtown, After Dark
Philly Joe is more than a chair and a machine. It is a room where the neighborhood shows up: comedians, poets, singers, first-timers, and regulars. Here is what is on the lineup.
"I wanted a place Newtown could call its own. Not just where you get tattooed, but where you laugh on a Friday, read a poem on a Saturday, and leave knowing your neighbors."
Joe Thomas · FounderThe Lineup
Most nights run on a rotating Friday and Saturday schedule. Exact dates post first on Instagram, and seats are reserved by phone or DM.
Signature Night
The one that started everything. A live act takes the floor while the artists work, walk-in specials run all night, and the whole studio turns into a show. If you only come to one thing, come to this. Every other night on this page was born from it.
Comedy Night
Ink. Wit. Night. Local talent and touring comedians take the mic in the most unexpected comedy room in Bucks County. BYOB, low lights, chandelier overhead, and a crowd close enough to feel every punchline. Seats are limited and they go fast.
Poetry & Spoken Word
Art for the ears, ink for the soul. A curated evening of poetry and spoken word in a space built for storytelling. Step up to the floor with a piece of your own, or pour a drink and listen. Either way, you leave with something.
Karaoke Night
Bring your best voice. The mic stays hot all night, tattoo specials run while you sing, and the only rule is commit to the bit. Whether you are a shower-singer or a closet superstar, this is your stage. Let's ink and sing.
Learn The Craft
Ever wondered what it feels like to hold a machine? This hands-on intro pulls back the curtain on the craft behind the ink. Learn the basics, make your first marks on practice skin, and understand what really goes into permanent art. No experience needed, just curiosity.
Your Night, Our Room
Birthday, private party, pop-up, or a tattoo-and-drinks night with your crew. Reserve the studio after hours and we will build the evening around you, machines optional.
