You won’t want to miss this LIVE stand up comedy event featuring three talented and hilarious comics.

Headliner:
For over 25 years, Johnny Bell has been entertaining comedy crowds around the country with a style that can be considered aggressive, logical, offensive, and level-headed all at the same time. It’s easy to simply get on stage and say controversial things, but Johnny attacks absurd life experiences–especially his own– with a critical eye that finds humor from different angles. He’s a dad, he’s been divorced twice, sang in bands, managed a night club, was a poker pro, and recently published his first book. And all of those perspectives make for hilarious observations on stage that keeps crowds laughing. He was voted Best Comedian in Tampa Bay in 2016, 2017, and 2022.

When Johnny B isn’t behind the microphone at a comedy club–he’s shared the stage with comedy greats such as Mitch Hedberg and Ralphie May–he’s behind the microphone for terrestrial radio: As the winner of Cox Media’s “Tampa Bay’s Got Talent” search, he can be heard weekday mornings on 102.5 The Bone FM in the Tampa market hosting The Mike Calta After Show. He can also be found in his home studio, podcasting to thousands of listeners each week. Wherever he performs, a comedy club, comedy night at a local bar, or a backyard BBQ, people are definitely listening(and laughing) as his stories, rants and observations that make for a unique comedy experience.
