Ever done stand-up comedy? If you’re coming to Salem, now might be the opportune time to test your skills in a booming comedy scene. Each week, roughly half a dozen comedy shows take place at various venues throughout the city. But it wasn't always like that... not until Allie Del Franco came to town. Over the last few years, this New York transplant has single-handedly transformed the comedic landscape of Salem. What started as a weekly open mic night at Witch's Brew Cafe, has now blossomed into a coalition of 500 comics who just last year alone performed 250 shows. Allie dubs her army of laughter: Witch City Comedy.
She is also the creator, writer, director, producer, inspiration, and star of her own television show, "Witch City." After winning multiple awards at the NYC TV Festival, the show will make its Salem premier at Cinema Salem on May 7th. The entire pilot was filmed in Salem and is full of Salem locals including our very own Sarah Black! So join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a chat with one of our funniest guests yet!
