Cecily and Gwendolyn

Pip, pip everyone! Here comes Gwendolyn and Cecily, a pair of eccentric ladies touching base in Philly while in the midst of touring around the world via hot air balloon. They’re loquacious raconteurs with stories, and vocabularies, to thrill and amaze you.

These daffy characters are the creation of Karen Getz and Kelly Jennings, two leading players in Philly’s improv comedy scene. As Gwendolyn and Cecily they play Victorian British social anthropologists who hop around the time continuum to record history and make curious observations. Their bizarre and  completely improvised stream of consciousness presentations are both sophisticated and absurd, with salacious tidbits tossed in for good measure.

Gwen and Cecily share stories on YouTube and Facebook, but seeing them in-person more than doubles the fun. And heads up, these gals are all about engaging with the audience — that means you.
