OPENING COMEDIAN: GARY SHARP JR.

Gary Sharp Jr. 

Gary is a Philly based stand-up comedian. He enjoys sharing his unique perspective on family, social issues, and relationships both romantic and platonic. After starting comedy in 2019, he has quickly risen through the ranks and become one of the most sought-after acts in the area. He placed 3rd in the 2021 Philly’s Phunniest Stand Up competition at the renowned Helium Comedy Club. He has also performed at illustrious venues such as Comic Strip Live (NYC), Broadway Comedy Club (NYC), Helium Comedy Club (Philly), Soul Joel’s Comedy Club, Tropicana Casino (Atlantic City), Punch Line Philly Comedy Club, Idiot Box Comedy Club (Greensboro), and Comedy Works Bristol. He has opened for headliners such as Rich Vos, Chip Chantry, Jackie Fabulous, Ian Fidance and Sean Donnelly. In addition to performing regularly at clubs/bars all around Philly and the greater Tri-State area, Gary has been selected to perform in numerous comedy festivals across the country (North Carolina, DC, Billtown to name a few).

After graduating from Johns Hopkins in 2014, Gary pursued a career in construction project management before realizing he was hilarious and deciding to tell dick jokes in dive bars for the rest of his life. His parents couldn’t be more proud. No, but seriously, it wasn’t until 5 years after college that comedy entered the realm of possibilities. At the behest of his mother, Gary signed up for the “Stand-Up 101” class at Helium Comedy Club in August of 2019. That 6-week course, taught by the legendary Chip Chantry, provided the foundation and tools needed to go on and further hone his craft in the years to come and the rest is comedy history.
