Has anyone seen the man dressed as Jesus calling himself Philly Jesus? He preaches the gospel and dances in Philly Park.

I remember him. Pretty sure he had a bit of a mental break a couple years ago and disappeared.

Someone on Reddit said they saw Vent man recently. Glad he made it through Covid. He’s one of the more eccentric Philly characters.

I used to see him all the time walking around Dillworth Park, Rittenhouse, etc when I lived there from 2014-2019. He got arrested for something a few years ago, if I remember, and he was clearly lacking some wattage upstairs whenever you heard him speak. Harmless though.

He was hanging out in the Apple store using their wifi (as messiahs will sometimes do). When they tried to remove him, he made a stink and got arrested. He claimed they were trying to crucify him.

He's hilarious. His lackies that follow him around are even funnier. I miss him desperately.

I can also confirm that Vent Man is alive and well. Saw him in the flesh last weekend doin' his thing and my heart lept.

Philly Jesus blessed me and the wife in McGillin's one Saturday afternoon a few years back and things have been good ever since. I'd actually like to see him again for a reinforcement.


He was with his parents and his brother, nice looking family. The brother was wearing a hat with '666' on it (or something to that effect). PJ entertained the crowd by dancing through the joint to Thriller.
I bought him a glass of wine in Ralph Jr's some time before that.
