Conrad Roth founded Center City Comedy at the Raven Lounge with Chris Cotton and H. Foley. He lived in San Francisco for the past 2 years and has returned to reclaim his position as the Polish Prince of Comedy.
Ryan Shaner is the newest of the hosts. He’s short and built like a brick shit house. Shaner is also the funniest of the aforementioned hosts.
Tom Cassidy has been hosting at the Raven for the past 2 years. He recently quit his job in the fast paced world of Off Campus Housing in North Philadelphia to pursue stand up full time.
MEET THE STAFF
Kevin is the first person you see when you walk into the Raven Lounge because he is the bouncer. Through his gruff exterior Kevin has a heart of gold, as long as you have a valid ID and don’t yell while smoking cigarettes outside.
Karen is a sassy spit fire and mother of 1. She has been the bartender for Center City Comedy for 2 years. In between asking for back massages she’ll fix you one of our many drink specials.

FOREFATHERS
H. Foley and Chris Cotton can sometimes be found puttering around the show talking about the good old days. We get it “Something Grazed My Foot” was funny.
