He's a bitter lawyer and stand-up ...and he's telling all!

UPenn and Lawyer and Matt Ritter and Jess Garvey and Roy Vongtama


I've covered stand-up Matt Ritter (L'02) on DT before and all the great viral videos he's created (my favorite one being THIS one).

If you recall, like many Penn alumni making career changes, Matt has transitioned careers from being a lawyer to a standup.

After the jump check out "Bottom Rung", his new web series based on his experiences working in "document review" at a big LA firm  ....and find about his other Penn alumni co-stars and some of his unbelievably(!) true working experiences that will be feeding into this series.




Penn's $46M playground's got you covered

Back in September, our DT correspondent Kelly Diamond (C'13), showed us exactly where Penn Park was on campus.

Recently she was walking down the Walnut Street Bridge in the rain and noticed a new athletic bubble that was built right over the park!

After the jump check out Kelly's 15 second clip of Penn's new indoor practice area!
