Bernadette Pauley: "Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen"
Wednesday, 06/10/2009@ 8PM
What: Don't be mistaken by her blonde hair. Bernadette Pauley "looks like Nicole," but is "more like O.J." - a badass minus the murderer characteristic. Funny, offensive and entertaining, Pauley will have you laughing two hours after the show is over, walking by yourself, looking like an idiot laughing with no one.
Where: Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St., Philadelphia, PA
Cost: $10 | 21+ | 18-20 accompanied by parent/guardian
