As a comedy writer yourself, how have you viewed working with and for Isae Rae? (Long, deep sigh) Go on.

I wanted to know how and what you feel about Rae’s characters’ choices and wit, especially involving your character, Tiffany?

I thought we were talking about ‘Smart, Funny & Black.’

We are.

I don’t want to talk about Issa Rae. I don’t want to talk about ‘Insecure.’ I want to talk about my projects and what I’m doing.

You’re doing that, too, but OK. I’ve witnessed your stand-up act before and they’ve mostly been in intimate environments, such as comedy clubs or a festival like The Roots Picnic. How has expanding into theaters changed your performance stance, especially going into the live game show realm of ‘Smart, Funny & Black?’

Working theaters has been not as much of a shift as I thought it would be. It’s like you said: Intimate spaces, especially for comedy, are ideal. I expected it to be something different.

There are larger numbers of people in these rooms to consider, and being less intimate doesn’t mean less connection. It’s a bigger sense of community and more opportunities for people to interact and relate to each other on the same page.

Why did you choose to do a game show on stage rather than your usual stand up?

I wanted to do something that, format-wise, was lighthearted, but that content-wise, had gravitas. This ended up with a game show falling into place as the best option for my ideas.

I’ve done some real thinking about this.

Other than Steve Harvey, Jamie Foxx and the hip hop iteration of ‘Hollywood Squares,’ there have been few African-American faces at the head of a game show.

I am somebody who grew up watching “The Price is Right” and “Family Feud.” My family had A game night. We played ‘Scattergories’ and trivia night. It wasn’t so far-fetched from my life and my personal interests. To your point, yes. Also, there have not been any black women at the helm of any game shows. If it’s uncommon, the more likely it is for me to want to be involved in it.

I’m not trying to connect the two gigs, but it’s interesting that at the same time you are touring with a game show, you’re also on television hosting a comedy competition.

That was a phone call. They were fans of my voice. Also, I have been doing “Smart, Funny & Black” since 2016, so I think the law of attraction is at work there. Me being in this host space — and I have been hosting things for such a long time — made it so that, naturally, things wound up going in this direction.

The stage show allows you to sing and rap, something you haven’t done since your brief tenure in Floetry. What made you want to dip your toe back into the music pool?

I have this fascination with (laughs) large groups of people in a room singing at the same

PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM @PHILLYWEEKLY time. I just love it. Even when I was DJing, I would pick a song everyone knows the words to, drop the volume and let everyone sing the lyrics. The unity of it all, the energy that fills the space. Going to a Billy Joel concert at Madison Square Garden and hearing and seeing everyone sing the words to ‘Piano Man,’ reverberating through the rafters, felt fulfilling and inspiring to me. Bringing that into the cultural space of ‘Smart, Funny & Black’ and singing songs so culturally specific to black folks — SWV’s ‘Weak,’ ‘Before I Let Go’ — allows me to connect the dots. Having the band with us makes it a stronger move with intention to do that.

So I walk into the Merriam, sit down. How do I become part of the show?

There’s no fourth wall. It is very communicative in terms of what I want from the audience, [from] how I talk to them and how they respond to my questions. We have different ‘fams’ — Fly Fam, Culture Fam and more. It all depends on what ‘fam’ you consider yourself to be. It’s similar to Harry Potter’s houses. It also comes down to how you judge your involvement. Some of the games are right and wrong answers, but some of them are based on which black-[ex]pert does better with the games. There is subjective judging, which integrally involves the audience and how they respond. There is a moment of ebony excellence. The audience is involved, top to bottom.

If they’re not in tune with us, it doesn’t work right.

You did quite a bit of stuff before stand-up comedy. You came late to the game. What do you recall about your first set of jokes or funny ideas you put forth? What do you recall about getting into stand up?

I recall needing to come up with something funny to talk about all the time. I realized that was a very inorganic practice and that my comedy comes from just living — being able to observe things happening and finding the funny beats within them — and then expanding upon that. I didn’t want to cultivate humor from the petri dish of my mind. It had to be organic. I had hit a rut, trying to figure my next move, when I heard from a fellow comic that my ‘just talking’ is funny, just expounding upon experience is funny. Coming from hip hop, as I did, gave me a viewpoint all my own, as did my expansive vocabulary. It took someone from the outside to give me that viewpoint. Being able to be onstage and know I was funny without having to convince an audience — that’s how I knew I was OK. Having to convince is a very defensive place. When you know you’re funny, that’s offensive, which changes the dynamic completely.

‘Smart, Funny & Black’ isn’t a stand-up show, per se. But what is on your mind that might sneak through? And how does that connect to Philly, where you have spent so much time?

It’s not about current events as much as it is a cultural experience. Our black-[ex]perts for the show are TuRae Gordon and Roy Wood Jr. from ‘The Daily Show,’ two individual mas-

I give them a game and they turn it into a theatrical experience. And Philly? I love the juxtaposition between the old and the new. That can be architecturally as well as culturally. I think for the black folk of Philly, there has been a history of police brutality and segregation — let’s not forget that Philly bombed an entire

Later this month, mega coffee chain Cafe Bustelo install a pop-up coffee spot right on Frankford Avenue in the heart of Fishtown. Cafe Bustelo officials originally hoped for a June 9 launch of the site but confirmed that the popup would go up at a later date this month.

The site plans to take a hiatus on Mondays but will be open to the public Tuesday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-6p.m., Friday-Saturdays from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. and from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday Fun Days when you need to sober up just in time to get the back-to-work blues.

I was there for the

very first show as a member of the press for my college newspaper, a local entertainment paper, Happy Times, and as Philadelphia correspondent for the New York Rocker. To get on the guest list, I initially dealt with David’s booking agents, Steve Apple and Bob Chipetz.

But after a fire closed the Hot Club for most of 1978, and Apple and Chipetz moved on to Stars and the Walnut Street Theatre, David was left to plan for the reopening of his club on his own. He did this by first booking bands himself into another club he owned, a formerly trendy hotspot by then, Artemis. Mostly local bands played on Artemis’ tiny groundfloor disco dance floor, while David had the upstairs reworked into a mini-concert venue, hosting The Cramps, The B-52’s, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, and such. I met David there and suggested that when he reopened the Hot Club, he should hire just-turned-21-year-old, Temple student me as a publicist, despite my never having done that. Oddly enough, he

The music was great and forward thinking, but it was the people there, dressed in punk’s finery or whatever you want to call it, that made the scene. And David created that scene, poured all of the ingredients into one bowl.

first import UK punk singles at 3rd Street Jazz. Since Hot Club was closed Mondays and Tuesdays, why not do punk? The British press was all over it. Legs McNeil in NYC just put out his magazine, so I coaxed him into seeing the Dead Boys with me at CBGBs, and he flipped out. Immediately, he wanted to start doing that. He had Apple and Chippitz at first getting the bands from abroad, but he did all the talking to the bands, figuring out who they were, who he had to call. To the point where after the Hot Club fire in ‘78, David knew what to do and booked them himself. It would be me and David upstairs. I made all the posters with the Letraset. David was the business man.

We’d talk about what band was worth what money.

Michael J. Ferguson, aka Mick Cancer (The Sic Kidz): Our first encounter was when I was a writer for the Philadelphia Drummer. I was doing a piece on his new venue, the Hot Club. After numerous ‘business’ delays, our interview began with David introducing himself as ‘Felonious Assault,’ and we were off and running….

David was the man who opened the door to punk rock in this city. Not only did he run an establishment legendary for its array of musical line-ups — The Cramps, Iggy, Suicide, The Runaways, the list goes on — he created and permitted an environment that was part ‘La Dolce Vita,’ part John Waters. In doing so, he offered refuge to all us misfits, outsiders, mavericks and derelicts, musical and otherwise.

And, of course, he embraced the unique and the weird and the unexpected, such as pairing The Sic Kidz with Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and making it seem a natural, plausible event. It’s essential to say that he championed local punks, giving us a platform and also the opportunity to play with major acts. Full of life and wild-eyed enthusiasm, he was a throwback to another era, a bebop Runyan-esque character, brimming with charm, wit, intelligence and wicked humor and yes, a touch of sheer fuckin’ crazy mad genius, a hustler with a keen eye and ear, a guy willing to bet on his instincts who was proved right as often as not.

Jere Edmunds (Hot Club, Starlite Ballroom coat check/filmmaker): David was there for me. I was different — black and gay — and my looks helped me get through, as well as my open, naive personable personality. I wasn’t a threat...and I somehow knew or met a lot of people from different backgrounds in various arts, cultural and musical interests. David liked people with such interests working for him. He thought it expanded his mind and the environment we were building together. Besides, the city was in short shirtsleeves then. 5 O-Clock, everything closed. Anyway, I started the coat check there...then expanded to selling punk jewelry...mine, Tom Potts’ silk screened designed T-shirts. From there, I met so many people who I still have family-like friendships with.

PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM @PHILLYWEEKLY That’s how that environment was. David fueled that.

Jilan Carroll Glorfield: Maybe his creativity had to do with how he came into this world — hard, having to struggle and hustle — but it all made him brilliant.

Jay Schwartz: I worked a few days a week in David’s apartment above the Hot Club. Brought my own portable typewriter. My starting pay was $35 a week. I wrote press releases, got them printed, folded them and stuffed envelopes, and licked a lot of stamps. I also hand delivered these to rock critic Matt Damsker at the Bulletin and ad copy to the Drummer newspaper. David wanted press releases sent weekly, rather than monthly calendars that many clubs used. This was handy because our bookings were often last minute and definitely subject to change. I think some of the bookings I reported as fact might have just been ideas, or hunches of what might happen. Still, they usually did happen. I do see periodic notices that our phone number changed and changed back again, because the huge phone bill had not been paid, so we had to switch to his home number temporarily. Also subject to change was my employment status. While I worked there for most of 1979 and 1980, there would be periods of stoppage, usually when I didn’t get paid. One night, I think the bands that played did not get paid fully, and I didn’t get paid at all, with David locking himself upstairs and gone to bed. I didn’t talk to him for a spell after that. But I came back.

Stephen Starr (club owner/restaurateur): I met David like ’77, the beginning of 1978.

He came to Starz [Starr’s live club at the time], just to check it out. He knew he wanted to book bands there. I went to the Hot Club too.

What made him unique… you know, I don’t know why he was ahead of the curve. Looking at him, he wasn’t a hip or trendy dresser. But he was always ahead of what would become big. He had a gift. I don’t know if he loved the music or loved what was going to be loved ahead of schedule. He was the ultimate A&R guy in that way. He set the trends, or told us what they were going to be.

Rich Cohen (The Sic Kidz): He was truly supportive to us and the other local bands. He gave us the opportunity to play with our heroes and influences and was always diplomatic in dealing with the craziness. I was there from the night they opened, met many of my friends there, and the scene wouldn’t have been the same without David’s vision. I always felt as if the Hot Club was my home. None of the clubs that came after had the same feeling for me.

Bobby Startup: There were never any fights at David’s places. A punk club with no fights, right? Occasionally, there was some asshole trying to cause trouble, but with David, it was quickly and calmly defused.

PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM @PHILLYWEEKLY

COFFEE, FROM PAGE 10 The placement is a bit uncanny considering that there are seven coffee houses to choose from on the stretch of Frankford between Girard Avenue to York St. where Fishtown is said to officially end. There are eight if you count the soon-to-be Starbucks mega house with a roaster on-site, a Mecca for early morning risers.

Count the surrounding area two blocks in any direction and add more than four more coffeehouses peddling Joe. The location for the New York-based coffee company (which is under the umbrella of the J.M. Smucker jelly empire) couldn’t be more perfect, but one wonders if this would even be considered if they weren’t tipped off to the fact that Fishtown is already Philly’s coffee haven.

Perhaps they’re coming in now to stake their claim.

“The Fishtown neighborhood in Philadelphia is a catalyst for artistic development, musical trends and culinary inspiration and we’re excited to bring Café Bustelo to this great community,” said Eduardo Merino, senior brand manager. “Fishtown attracts those who enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of trendy art studios, hip bistros and entertaining nightlife. Our café will fit right in and we can’t wait

to be a part of the magic.”

In that entire quote, it was surprising that Merino didn’t weave in the line “and a shit ton of coffee houses” into his statement. It’s a situation where it plans to stack up to the longstanding competition that’s witnessed the evolution of Fishtown. Some locals, needless to say, were skeptical, yet interested in the next new thing coming to the neighborhood.

Cafe Bustelo will set up shop at 1221 Frankford Avenue, the site of the old NOVEM CrossFit studio, in celebration of a new brand of coffee called Sabor Latino. If it’s anything like the site of the coffee company’s Houston popup, then Philadelphians are in for something certainly different, yet completely the same in the long run.

“I’m not worried about a novelty,” said Dan Stratman, a longtime Fishtown resident who gets his coffee at the flagship location of La Colombe along Frankford Avenue most mornings. “It’s going to come and some people will check it out because it’s new. But they’ll realize it’s commercial coffee and they’ll keep it moving. Story over.”

GUERRERO, FROM PAGE 11 resolve,” he said. “I’m safe, but there is no relationship with my father.”

Landing and living in Blackwood, New Jersey, Guerrero does not play the personalpain-for-laughs card. Instead, his work is swift and cruelly observational, yet he comes off as breezily at ease with his circumstances.

“I say those things to a group of strangers because my family refuses to hear it,” he said.

“My family hasn’t even watched my stand-up because they find what I do to be disrespectful.

The Latin community isn’t one to talk. Their formative years in the Dominican Republic were lived under a dictatorship, a heavy information blanket. These were people who didn’t realize World War II had happened, they were so secluded. My family brought that trauma with them, and they do not feel as if they can or will discuss that trauma.”

Guerrero will discuss it. It’s his only ways of dealing with the heartache and loss.

“And that makes you crazy,” he said.

Guerrero was 18, in high school and preparing for a life in medicine of some sort while living out of his uncle’s house. He was dissuaded — hard — from furthering his path to college. “‘You’re a fucking immigrant, what are you thinking of college for?’” his family would say.

Thinking he had little future, Guerrero took the advice of a girl he was dating at the time who thought he was “mad funny.”

“I had no idea where I could go with that. I mean, I was working at Toys ‘R’ Us,” Guerrero said. “I was trying to get a certified nursing certificate to clean butt. What did I know?”

So Guerrero did what anyone who doesn’t know something would do: “I Googled ‘funny jobs.’”

Luckily, the job of stand-up comedian in New York City was pretty close to the top, especially considering that he didn’t realize Manhattan’s role as a comedy Mecca. “I just wanted to do something where I wouldn’t be a loser, and something that paid cash as I had no working papers,” he said.

So stand-up it was. He couldn’t afford to suck at it since he desperately needed the money and saw the luxury that comics with money in their pockets had at their disposal.

“If I was bad, and didn’t get money or a follow-up gig, I didn’t eat,” he said. Starting with open mics in 2007, then shows at the New York Comedy Club in 2008, Guerrero was good, stayed good and made his nut. “I did so well that I couldn’t go back for three months. I figured I had plateaued, that I couldn’t recreate that laughter,” he said.

Fast forward to 2015-16, and Guerrero seemed to be a fully-formed member of the Philadelphia stand-up comedy family, but not before he wound up in Indianapolis at the urging of another comedian. “So I’m there, right before Trump announces his run for the Presidency, then Pence as his running mate,” he said. “Me, an immigrant, right in the middle

JULY 18 - JULY 25, 2019 | PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY

of Trump Country. I had gone from the Dominican Republic to New York City to Indiana without truly knowing what the political dynamic of this country was. Now, I knew.”

Guerrero managed to play Indiana’s comedy circuit and book commercial ad work during the year that he was there but ran through the gamut of options quickly and plateaued hard, again. Family members and girlfriends suggested a return to Blackwood but with a focus and concentration on Philly.

“So I did, and I wanted to start fresh,” Guerrero continued. “I burned all of my old jokes and worked up new ones. I waited around at Raven Lounge [on Sansom St.] to do five minute bits at 2 a.m. I made my way through the scene fast. And Philly is a beautiful city when it comes to comedy, especially to start over.

People allow you to grow, find your voice, hone it and do what makes you unique. You guys are the birthplace of the revolution and that strife, so you’re not so easily offended.

That’s great for a comedian testing the waters.

Truly interesting.”

As an outlier who was told he deserved little due to his undocumented status, Guerrero doesn’t beat down the Trump train too heavily, but he does keep his finger on the hot-button pulse of the socio-political now.

“Hey, my parents grew up under a dictatorship, so I get it, but Trump seems like the most dangerous president of my lifetime,” Guerrero said. “What he’s doing at the border is heartbreaking and horrendous. That’s why I’m part of the group trying to shut down the Berks Detention Center, which illegally holds families seeking asylum. With that said, however, Trump is a galvanizer. He’s inspired me not just to complain on Twitter as everybody else does. He’s made me a foot soldier, on the ground for positive change, rather than be a big topic of my act. If anything, I almost thank him for coming into office. We were becoming complicit in our own demise. He woke us up.

I’m more active politically now. Maybe people will vote differently and change.”

Change is a big part of Guerrero’s new set, something audiences will recognize if they have witnessed him at Helium and see him again this week at Punch Line while he records his upcoming live album.

“Before this, I was doing stand-up in a way that would get me on TV,” Guerrero said.

“Talking about dating. Talking about Tinder.

Then, the more I saw Trump demonize brown people, I realized I had to speak up. See, no matter how much I try to be the type of comedian white people like, it won’t make a difference. They’ll still find some way or reason to hate me. I’d much rather use my comedy as therapy for myself — coming here at age 6 wasn’t my fault, hey, I wanted to be a surgeon — and as a platform for overcoming what we’ve been through.”

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders spoke to a throng of activists hoping to keep Hahnemann Hospital alive. Sanders pushed his “Medicare for All” agenda as an initiative that might have kept the faltering hospital alive. | Image: Alex Nagy

Hahnemann feels the Bern Bernie Sanders led a rally this week against the closure of Hahnemann that shut down Broad St.

BY ALEX NAGY

A

t least 1,000 people gathered outside Hahnemann University Hospital Monday to rally against its closure with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

The pending closure of Hahnemann was announced in a statement last month, which claimed financial issues are to blame. But in his appearance at the hospital, Sanders, a 2020 hopeful, used the upcoming closing as an example of why his “Medicare for All” platform should be implemented.

Sanders also announced that he will be working to implement a $20 billion trust fund to aid hospitals in financial distress.

The closure of the hospital will slash about 2,000 jobs and displace thousands of patients.

The maternity ward has already been shut down and the entire hospital is planned to close by early September.

Sanders pointed out that Hahnemann’s closure isn’t a problem limited to Philadelphia.

Over 100 hospitals in the U.S. have closed since 2010.

“If we don’t get our act together and put people before profits, hundreds more will soon be shutting down,” he said.

Sanders called on Joel Freedman, the CEO and owner of the hospital, to fight to keep Hahnemann going strong.

“Work with local officials, work with the unions and the people of this city and keep this hospital open,” he said.

The brief yet powerful rally hosted several speakers involved with both the hospital and government. Maureen May, president of the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals (a nurse’s union of which Hahnemann is a member), spoke and thanked Sanders for his support.

“We are going to stick together and fight to the end,” she said.

A Hahnemann patient who received cancer treatment at the hospital also took to the podi-

um. She served as an example of the hospital’s exceptional care and what patients like her would have to do without it.

City councilwoman Helen Gym was also present at the event. Her and Sanders cowrote an opinion piece for the Philadelphia Inquirer that amplified their disappointment in Freedman’s actions.

Ohio Senator Nina Turner, Sanders’ campaign co-chair, was also there to rile up the crowd. Additionally, so was Rudi Weinberg, president of Drexel Democrats, who claimed that Sanders is the only presidential candidate that has given this issue any attention.

However, he believes it’s too late to enact change because the thousands of Hahnemann employees have already begun to move on and find new jobs.

“The fact that he tried and that he cares about it is really important,” Weinberg said.

He also highlighted that Hahnemann is one of the few hospitals in Philadelphia that will care for undocumented immigrants and those without health insurance. Without the hospital, they would have nowhere to go, he said.

Nonetheless, Sanders made sure to shine light on the true intentions he believes are behind the closure of the hospital.

“The possible closing of Hahnemann has nothing to do with healthcare, but it has everything to do with greed,” Sanders said.
