"Got Jokes?" Brings Comedy
to Tampa Bay

Written by Joshua T. Gillion (Tampa Bay Informer)

TAMPA, FL - If laughter is truly the best medicine, these guys should require a prescription. Got Jokes? is a rising star in the comedic sky, and one of the Tampa area's premiere improv comedy troupes. If you're looking for a side-splitting good time, they deliver!

A Got Jokes? show is high-energy, in-your-face improv comedy driven by crowd participation. The audience is involved with everything from scene suggestions to direct interaction in the show, with fans getting on stage and exchanging quips and lines with the cast while they react and mold their show around whatever they are given. The cast of Got Jokes? is a mix of stand-up comics, spoken word artists, trained improv comedians and actors that have come together to create a unique comedic expression. They obviously have fun on stage, which adds to the show’s energy and vibe.

Got Jokes? These guys do

Last year, Daniel "Motown Pride" Jefferson set out to assemble an improv troupe diverse enough to make anyone laugh. So he visited comedy clubs in Chicago and Orlando. He took notes. He announced a casting call online and in newspaper ads. He held auditions.

Got Jokes? Comedy Improv Team

If you're anything like me, you probably grew up during a great time in television history. I remember watching Saturday Night Live and In Living Color and Who's Line is It Anyway in my youth and into my teens. Watching improv comedy shaped a lot of how I see the world today, and I'm glad for that education.

When I get a chance to see a comedy show, I jump on it. When it's improv, I really jump on it. What's funnier than a bunch of people acting our scenarios from an eager audience? Not much, and Got Jokes Improv Troop definitely embodies the spirit of what improv comedy should be.
