Walter, a Maryland native, has never been shy about her love for Philadelphia, calling it her “adopted city,” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>”\u00a0and bragging about getting free service at Angelo’s in South Philly.<\/p>\n

Before her shows at Helium Comedy Club in July, she spoke\u00a0about why she loves performing in Philadelphia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s the vibe that I have connecting with the Philly audiences that elevates those shows to something different from anything I do anywhere else in the country,” she said. “I say stuff I’ve never done before on stage. I pulled my body suit out of the crack of my butt … and started blaming the Kardashians. I did that in Philly, because there’s nowhere else in the country where I’m going to do something crazy like that, and it’s just more fun.”<\/p>\n

Walter is self-directing her comedy special. She’s also joining her “Abbott Elementary” co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph, actress Michelle Caputo and producer Shannon Hartman as executive producers.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, “Abbott Elementary” aired its much-awaited episode featuring Kyle Schwarber, which was shot during the Phillies game<\/a> in which he hit four home runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Abbott Elementary” star Lisa Ann Walter’s first comedy special is coming to Hulu next year, and it was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4223,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3871,3868,1157,3869,3872,3870,69,71,70],"class_list":{"0":"post-4222","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-abbott-elementary","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-center-city","11":"tag-comedy","12":"tag-helium-comedy-club","13":"tag-hulu","14":"tag-philadelphia","15":"tag-philadelphia-headlines","16":"tag-philadelphia-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
