Big Bang Show offered at NOVA 535Written by Andrew DeLong (St. Petersburg Times)TAMPA, FL - Do summertime reruns have you bored out of your gourd?

Radio DJ Alli That Girl takes a shot at improv comedyBy Dalia Colón (St. Petersburg Times)Alli That Girl was late calling for a phone interview this week, but she had a good reason: Her 2-year-old had deleted the number from her phone. But Alli didn't stress. It's just more material for her act. Last month, the popular hip-hop DJ became the newest member of the local improv comedy troupe Got Jokes?. Alli, a.k.a. Allison Barnett of St. Petersburg, is already known for her antics as a self-described "afternoon HO(st)" weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m. on the WLLD-FM 94.1 (formerly 98.7).

Got Jokes? These guys doBy Dalia Colón (St. Petersburg Times)Humor is subjective. For some, Seinfeld does the trick. Others prefer Chris Rock. And in the right circles, a well-timed fart joke gets the crowd ROTFL. Last year, Daniel "Motown Pride" Jefferson set out to assemble an improv troupe diverse enough to make anyone laugh.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2009Got Jokes? Comedy Improv TeamIf 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. |
