Chip Cantry and Alex Cureau

Chip Chantry is a Philadelphia-based standup comedian and television writer who is not only a high-volume joke generator but also a veteran educator: he taught 4th grade for 14 years before going all-in on comedy in 2015. Now, between performances, podcasts, and writing, Chip applies his teaching background to coach aspiring comedians at Standup 101 classes. I chatted with Chip about his trajectory away from teaching grade school into a successful writing career and if he thinks any comedy student can be funny onstage.

What if the comedian says something I don't like or agree with?

At Comedy Zone, we understand that comedy is subjective and that different people may have varying opinions and sensitivities. Our stage features national touring comedians who come from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. As such, we have no way of predicting or controlling the specific content of their performances.

Comedy is meant to challenge boundaries and often pushes the envelope, exploring topics that may be considered controversial or edgy. While we strive to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all our guests, we acknowledge that some jokes or remarks might not align with your personal views.

If you find yourself in a situation where a comedian's material makes you uncomfortable, we kindly ask that you consider the following:

1. Quietly Leave: If what is being said on stage is bothering you, we encourage you to quietly exit the venue. We understand that not every comedic style or topic will resonate with everyone, and we respect your decision to step out if needed.

2. Respectful Atmosphere: Heckling or causing disruptions during a performance can negatively impact both the comedian and the overall experience for other attendees. To maintain a respectful atmosphere, we request that you refrain from engaging in heckling or any behavior that may disrupt the show.

3. No Refund Policy: It's important to note that any disagreement or heckling, regardless of intention, may be perceived as disruptive behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right to ask you to leave the premises without a refund.

Our goal is to create an environment where comedy enthusiasts can come together to enjoy a diverse range of comedic styles. While we cannot control every aspect of a comedian's routine, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring that everyone can have an enjoyable and entertaining experience at Comedy Zone.
