The Philadelphia Theater Company and improv comedy legends Second City are putting on a summer comedy series titled City of Nutterly Love: Funny as Bell. That title is so clever we can’t think of anyone crafty enough to sculpt a gem like that, except maybe Michael Nada himself. After all, he did steal the show in a recent GPTMC commercial, blowing a sweet kiss, accented with a little heart, to all of Philly’s prospective visitors. And now that he seems to be inserting himself into Philly tourism ads at every opportunity, The Dude could soon be Philly’s premier tourist attraction, whether you like it or not. (Real talk: We don’t.) All of that aside, City of Nutterly Love: Funny as Bell just might be as funny as it says it is. The Chicago based Second City was the comedy birthplace of Amy Sedaris, Steve Carell, Bill Murray, and Stephen Colbert, among others. And with lots of performances all month it shouldn’t be hard to find time to check them out. Hopefully it will funny be enough to ring, or even crack (sorry), your bell.
