Stand-up show by Whitmer Thomas, backed by a band of longtime friends, with comedy from Clay Tatum.
Whitmer Thomas plays PhilaMOCA on Sunday, December 13, with comedy from Clay Tatum opening. It's a stand-up bill, and Thomas is coming to town on the back of Terminal Crew of Dudes, the new album he released alongside an HBO comedy special of the same name. He'll be backed by a band of longtime friends, so the set has a musical side to it rather than just a mic and a stool.
If you're coming to this as a first-timer, it helps to know where Thomas fits. He's spent as much time in front of the camera as he has on a stage, with roles in Weapons and Friendship among his credits. That crossover between acting and stand-up tends to show up in how he builds a set—there's a narrative thread that holds the night together rather than just a string of one-off jokes. Terminal Crew of Dudes is the latest chapter in that, and the show is built around the material from the album and the special.
Clay Tatum handles the opening, so there are two comics on the bill. Between the two of them, you've got a full evening of stand-up, with Thomas taking the main slot and the band filling in around him. It's a Sunday night, which puts it in that mid-December stretch when the city is already leaning into the holiday rush, so it's a good one to get on the calendar early.
