A sampling of South Florida venues

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on April 21st, 2008

We’re back in Jersey. We spent the last 72 hours in Florida, working in Ocala at Jokeboys and then heading back down to West Palm for a show at the West Palm Improv (which was, for a number of reasons, cancelled). We headed on down to Lauderdale with our hostess, comedian Lisa Carrao (see pic below), to the Lauderdale Improv, and caught the last few minutes of the “4/20-Friendly Comedy Show” starring all the folks in the pic below. That show, held on this auspicious pot-smoking date, was to have included a screening of Doug Benson’s “Super High Me,” which, for a number of reasons, did not occur).

The two Improvs we saw were spectacular comedy showcases– each in relatively new, bustling entertainment/retail complexes and each state-of-the-art. An enthusiastic and near-capacity crowd enjoyed the pot-themed show at the Lauderdale club.
