Newtown, After Dark

Events

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 · Founder

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.
