VIDEO PIRATES: PHILADELPHIA World PremierePhiladelphia, you have a lot to answer for. And Video Pirates are here to collect. For the uninitiated, VP is a live comedy show centered around the presentation of original videomontages made up of clips from hundreds of VHS tapes. Highlights of 2012’s VP live show included a history of Beanie Babies, an insane Christian anti-internet porn video, and the strangely tragic story of Japanese game show prisoner Nasubi.
This time around, it’s all about Philadelphia! Expect a retrospective of a beloved local late night informercial, a heartfelt tribute to a much-loved fringe actor/Philly resident, clips from the worst that independent Philly film has to offer, and a seemingly endless montage of Philly-related clips from throughout film history.
This event will also serve as the release party for the first Video Pirates DVD, it’s gonna be a wild time.About:
