Perhaps you’ve heard of this Twitter thing that Oprah mentioned a few months ago. It allows anyone to post whatever they want in 140 characters or less. Naturally, it’s a great medium for comedians to try out jokes. Recently a website just for this purpose, Witstream, launched with Michael Ian Black as “Chief Content Officer.”

Just yesterday Twitter launched a new lists feature in which any user can create a custom list of accounts. So I took it upon myself to make a Philadelphia comedians list that makes it easy to follow all of the stand-up, sketch and improv comedians in Philadelphia that are on Twitter (there are 42 in all).

Some comics “tweet” about upcoming shows and others use it to just be funny. Some of my favorites of late:

If you’re know of someone that isn’t on the list but should be, feel free to comment below or e-mail comicvsaudience@gmail.com to be added.

And in related news, profiles in the database that contained a Twitter name aren’t loading correctly. I should be able to fix this this weekend.
