The Stress Factory Comedy Club is officially setting up shop at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, bringing nationally acclaimed talent and high-caliber laughs to the Main Line starting this summer. Opening on Friday, July 11, with a headlining performance by comedy veteran Michael Colyar, this new venue marks a dynamic expansion of Valley Forge’s entertainment portfolio—and signals a fresh chapter in the region’s live comedy scene.
Located beneath the newly renovated Stardust Tower, the Stress Factory Comedy Club is the latest venture by Vinnie Brand’s beloved comedy brand, already known for its popular clubs in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and Bridgeport, Connecticut. Now, it’s Philadelphia’s turn to get in on the action—with an intimate venue that promises up-close experiences with A-list comedians, all wrapped in the comfort of a state-of-the-art performance space.

Stress Factory Comedy Club: The Setup for Every Weekend
Starting July 11, the Stress Factory Comedy Club at Valley Forge will host weekly live comedy shows every Friday at 7 PM and Saturdays at 7 PM and 9:30 PM, offering guests multiple chances each weekend to experience world-class humor. The summer lineup is already stacked with talent including TK Kirkland, Rich Vos, Talent Harris, and Craig Shoemaker, with more national headliners and surprise acts expected to drop throughout the season.
The venue’s tight sightlines and crisp acoustics ensure that every seat is the best seat in the house—whether you’re stage-side or enjoying a cocktail from the back row.
The venue will feature a full bar and specialty menu, with a curated selection of comfort-driven favorites. Expect elevated pub fare like Bavarian pretzels with beer cheese, chicken quesadillas, signature flatbreads—including the indulgent Three Pigs with bacon, sausage, and pepperoni—and paninis like the Caprese, ideal for pairing with the club’s craft cocktail offerings.
Located within the Valley Forge Casino Resort, the club is also steps away from the fully reimagined Stardust Tower, the brand-new food hall, a seasonal outdoor pool with live music, and of course, gaming action on the casino floor.
Stress Factory Comedy Club: Why It Works—and Why It’s Needed
This partnership between Valley Forge Casino Resort and the Stress Factory Comedy Club couldn’t come at a better time. As regional entertainment ramps up again, Philly-area audiences are eager for new options—and the Stress Factory is delivering with a formula that blends top-tier talent, a welcoming, high-end atmosphere, and accessible pricing (with tickets starting at just $25).
As Valley Forge’s Vice President and GM Martha Morales put it, “Partnering with Stress Factory perfectly complements our ongoing transformation.” And she’s right—this isn’t just a comedy club, it’s the start of a new cultural hub in Montgomery County, drawing comedy lovers from across the region and reintroducing the area as a serious player in the national stand-up circuit.
