Former Owner of the Khyber is a Terrorist
Here’s one I somehow missed a few weeks ago. Turns out that one of the terrorists involved in the attacks on India last year, David Headley, was the son of the former owner of the Khyber Pass, now known as the Khyber. This bit in the New York Times is about Headley’s mother: She arrived back in Philadelphia, friends said, in the early 1970s, taking different office jobs and dating wealthy suitors until one of them lent her money to buy an old bar. She turned it into the Khyber Pass, decorated with billowing Afghan wedding tents and stocked with exotic beers…Ms. Headley tried to help her son straighten out his life. In 1985, she put him in charge of the Khyber Pass, but he proved to be such a poor manager that they lost the bar a couple of years later, friends of the family said.
I suppose there is no better time than now to tell you about Chip and my Christmas Show, the Chip Chantry Attack on Christmas. It will be at the Khyber this Monday at 8:00 p.m., as numerous comedians will be performing Christmas skits and videos for their shot at fabulous prizes, and we’ll be having an ugliest Christmas sweater competition as well. Finally, a fun Christmas show in a former terrorist breeding ground!

Shout Out to Philly’s Top 10 Comics
Just want to give a shout out to Philly’s Top Ten Comics, the majority of whom actually play quizzo at the Bards. They are also guys that I regularly perform with. Those of you who attend our shows know that we have a great group of up and coming comedians, and if you haven’t attended a show, what better time than the present? The one on Monday night was a huge success, and we have another show coming up this Monday at the Khyber. Hope to see you there.
Chip Chantry One Man Show Tonight!
Great show at the Khyber tonight. John Kensil, Aaron Hertzog, Luke Giordano, Monroe Martin and there are rumors of an appearance of the time travelling 1812 comic. Show starts at 8 p.m. RSVP on facebook.
Here’s an interview with Chip on Phillyist in which he talks about his One Man Show, and in which they hardly mention me at all, despite the fact that I am the engine room boiler that keeps this damn show moving. The best way to get back at Chip for this travesty? Coming to tonight’s show and cheering really loud for me.
Another Great Comedy Show Tonight
The comedy show that went down in my yard last week has hit “legendary” status on the streets, and our “Space” show last month has as well.

Show starts at 8 p.m. at the Khyber (2nd and Chestnut), and will include sets from local standouts Chris Cotton and Don Montrey. Hope you can make it. $5 cover and $1PBRs and Miller Lites.
