The infamously unfiltered comedian Kurt Metzger is on tour with his brand new one-hour stand-up comedy special It’s Only Going to Get Worse, and will make a stop at Hecklers Bar & Grill on October 5.
Metzger, now based in New York, started out doing comedy in his hometown of Philadelphia, alongside now-famous friends like Kevin Hart and Big Jay Oakerson.
From Chappelle’s Show to Inside Amy Schumer
He quickly climbed the ranks and relocated to NYC, where his act caught the eye of HBO and Comedy Central producers. His hilarious and unique style of writing soon landed him writing gigs on two hit series: Chappelle’s Show and Comedy Central Celebrity Roasts.
Metzger has since worked as a writer and actor on the Louis CK’s Louie, and Horace and Pete as well as the Emmy Award-winning series Inside Amy Schumer.

He recently relocated to Los Angeles and is currently working on a secret project.
First Stand-Up Special in Three Years
Metzger’s stand-up comedy act has been featured a multitude of times on HBO, Comedy Central and at the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.
He’s also appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and voiced the lead character Randall in the Comedy Central Series Ugly Americans. In 2014, Comedy Central released Kurt Metzger: White Precious, his first televised one-hour stand-up special, to rave reviews.
Catch Kurt performing his brand new one-hour special It’s Only Going to Get Worse, which is set to be released sometime in 2018, at Hecklers on Thursday, October 5th.
Opening for Metzger are beloved local stand-ups Sean Proudlove, Peter Hudson and Chelsea Lou.
