Lisa Ann Walter, known for her role as Melissa Schemmenti on Abbott Elementary, will perform stand-up at Helium Comedy Club in Center City Philadelphia from Aug. 2 to 4. Tickets and more information about the performance are available online.
Walter describes Philadelphia as a second home and expresses gratitude for the city and its audiences.
Her ties to Philadelphia run deep. They include serving as grand marshal of the Italian American parade, participating in the 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade, and throwing the first pitch at a Phillies game.
On Monday, Aug. 3, Walter said she plans to celebrate her birthday in Philly with her fans.
“If there’s a bakery in town that wants to hook me up, give me a special, you know, Melissa Schemmenti ‘I know a guy’ deal on a cake, I’m down,” she said to 6abc.
Last summer, Walter filmed a comedy special, Lisa Ann Walter: It Was An Accident, which is currently streaming on Hulu. Fans can also catch her when Abbott Elementary returns for Season 6 on Oct. 7 on ABC.
