The Details on Laff House
Reverse Psychology:
Laff House does not impose the traditional, militaristic two-drink minimum. The management says the lack of a minimum makes patrons feel they're not being forced to drink, and as a result they actually drink more. So everyone's happy.
Sightings:
Comedian Dave Attell began his Philadelphia episode of Comedy Central's "Insomniac" with scenes from his set at the Laff House.
Showtimes:
