The door to great comedy is opening in Tampa Bay. While the local scene grows in numbers and talent, great comics from bigger cities are taking notice. It’s no wonder - Florida’s comedy clubs are open and pulling together rooms of patrons for much needed laughs.

Clubs around Florida have been bursting with talent since January and Spitfire’s been at the heart of it, cultivating stand up comedy talent from all directions. Since January, Spitfire’s housed 2 weekly open mics, headline comics from New York, Chicago and LA, and created opportunities for local comics to perform for paying audiences. 

Starting in April and running through mid May, folks willing to venture out have a chance to see 4 different headliners from all over the country. The lineup includes Chicago’s Paul Farahvar (April 16th-17th), Chicago’s Brian Aldridge (April 30th-May 1st), New York City’s Mike Rivera (May 6th & 7th) and Florida’s own Chris Cope (2 shows May 14th). Shows start at 9p on Friday and 10p on Saturday. Tickets are $15.

You can call 727-329-6290 for more details and to reserve seats. Tickets and discounts for small groups are available at spitfirecomedy.com.
