Gregg Gethard, local funny guy extraordinaire, has got a story for you. And a video. And a song. And a few middle school geography questions. All of these elements come together in his Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Comedy Extravaganza. Carmen Sandiego was... well unless you skipped most of the 90s you probably already know what it was: A fantastically popular children's game show on PBS based on the equally popular computer game of the same name. Gregg Gethard is a bloke with his own monthly live comedy series who just happened to be lucky enough to score a slot on the show when he was in 8th grade.

The Pennsylvania Hmanities Council and local PBS station WHYY are collaborating on a new TV show called "Humanities Live," to be hosted by Tracey Matisak. The taping of the first episode of the show goes down this Thursday evening at WHYY's Civic Space, and will feature renowned dancer and choreographer Tania Isaac's program "Caribbean Social Dances." "Dances" is made up of performances by members of Tania Isaac Dance, and explores various dance forms, examining their social, historical, geographical and political context. You can attend the taping for free - just RSVP online here, or call 215-351-0511 - but beware! Apparently the live studio audience is expected to participate in some way in the performance. Phillyist is a little scared about that, but we plan to attend anyway, as we've seen Tania Isaac's work before, and it's always been excellent. In case you want to catch yourself on TV later, you should know that this episode will air at a future date (yet to be determined, apparently) on the recently launched Y Arts digital channel (Comcast Channel 241).
