Parx Casino in Bensalem is the No. 1 casino in Pennsylvania, and is one of the most popular places in the area for people to spend their free time. Already featuring more than 3,330 slot machines, 110 live tables, and 60 poker tables, Parx is adding another form of entertainment for its patrons.
Starting on Wednesday, April 17, and continuing weekly will be a new, live comedy show featuring a Philadelphia favorite. Through a partnership with “the man of a thousand voices,” also known as Joe Conklin, Parx is launching “Conklin’s Comedy Night.” This show will feature Conklin himself, alongside other comedians from the Philadelphia area who will be performing onstage in the 360 club, which is described as the heart of the casino.
When asked in a recent interview about how the show came about, Conklin said that Parx reached out to him. He said that Mike Baldini, a marketing and promotions representative who has worked with Conklin for 10 years, played a big part in the creation of the show. Conklin said that Baldini pitched the idea to Parx, which led them to reach out to him.
