Be still, my comedy and music-loving heart. SNL and Portlandia star Fred Armisen brings his big comedy tour to the Tampa Theatre (711 N Franklin St) on April 4. Tickets go on sale to the public on January 16. Tickets are $48.50 and can be reserved at www.tampatheatre.org.
The “Comedy for Musicians, But Everyone is Welcome” tour will feel right at home on the historic Tampa Theatre stage. I hope Armisen integrates the iconic organ into his routine.
