People hear the word shtick and might have a vague notion of what it means. It can be loosely defined as a gimmick, comic routine, style of performance, or even a person's special talent. We're excited to lean into the flexibility of what Shtick can be! For this first exploration of a program definition, we envision showcasing local as well as traveling comedians, interesting characters, and performers in the studio, as well as moments filmed in the field. We envision Shtick as a love letter to oddballs in Philadelphia and beyond, celebrating the power of creativity and laughter.
