The Bechdel Test Fest is a comedy festival created in 2016 out of a frustration that stages in Philadelphia were still predominantly white, cis, straight and male. The festival celebrates the talented and hilarious women (both cis and trans) and non-­binary comedians who make up a significant part of the local comedy scene. Performance artist and clown Sarah Knittel, stand-­up comedian Tan Hoang, mixed medium artist and epic dancer Rebekah Rickards, and musical improv duo Song In Her Ear will be part of the BTF segment at Blue Heaven.
