Big Bang Show offered at NOVA 535

Written by Andrew DeLong (St. Petersburg Times)

TAMPA, FL - Do summertime reruns have you bored out of your gourd? If so, maybe a shot of laughter is the best medicine.

This Thursday, Michael S. Novilla and Daniel "Motown Pride" Jefferson will present the Big Bang Show at NOVA 535 in St. Petersburg.

"The Big Bang Show is a unique combination of live comedy, improv, comedic skits and a suspenseful variety show. Think of American Idol plus The Gong Show plus Improv and the Johnny Carson Show," said Novilla, creator of the show and owner of NOVA 535...

Radio DJ Alli That Girl takes a shot at improv comedy

By 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). When she was pregnant with daughter Haidyn, Alli staged an on-air saga to determine the baby's paternity...

"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

By 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. 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.
