How To Speak Philadelphian

from City Cast Philly · host City Cast

There’s no debating that Philadelphians have an accent. Even within the city, the words and phrases you hear can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. Host Trenae Nuri talks with comedian and writer Alan Massenburg, who grew up in West Philly and Delaware County, about these regional differences and how to talk like you're truly from Philly. Check out Alan's show tonight at 10 p.m. at Helium Comedy Club.  Alan’s new comedy album, We Got Action, will be available March 22.   Want some more Philly news?
