Tickets and events are posted to The LabвЂ™s website and Facebook page and through Eventbrite. The intimate space will house a stage and capacity for approximately 42 patrons. The Lab Theater aims to be an accessible spot for local entertainment with ticket prices fixed between $5 and $18. All shows but the NCrowd are 18+, the NCrowd show is appropriate for ages 13+. Parent favorite Breeders starts its monthly run on October 8th. The Lab offers standup, variety and improv performances from some of PhillyвЂ™s best comedians, kicking things off with Howl: A Standup Showcase with Megan Goetz on 9/16, and Philly favorite, the NCrowd on 9/18. Live comedy is especially interactive and offers this magic, in-the-moment connection between the audience and performers. Says Bob of reopening now: вЂњThere are fewer and fewer chances for in-person interaction and human connection these days as technology has pushed us to be more remote and especially after the last year+. вЂњOur focus is the same as before: 1) To give kids and teens a place to explore their creativity and get on stage and 2) To program some great offbeat comedy, offer BYOB with reasonably priced tix and to give the audience a good time,вЂќ says Erika. Shows will initially be a few times a month and increase as they see interest. Even before the pandemic, we were starting to outgrow the 25 seat capacity in the space on Main Street when it looked like we were on the other side of the pandemic this past June вЂ“ we started looking for a larger space,вЂќ says Bob McNichol. вЂњWe were delighted local audiences really turned out for the shows, and we had a steady stream of Philly and NYC-based comedians willing to come to perform. When they originally decided to start programming shows in Ambler in 2019, they werenвЂ™t sure there would be interest.

After moving to Austin, TX in 2005, they became involved with ColdTowne Theater, a comedy theater born in a storage room next to a video store. The McNichols met while performing at various theaters in Chicago.

The Lab Theater already hosts classes and performances for youth and teens through Improv Ambler with the Fall 2021 session underway. After being closed for the past 15 months, comedians Erika May McNichol and Bob McNichol announced the reopening of the Lab in a larger venue on Butler Avenue.В The lineup will include a mix of crowd favorites and new programming with seating for up to 45 audience members.
