THE DISCOMFORT ZONE
July 29 - August 6, 2022 - HCC Rehearsal Hall, Tampa Fringe Festival
"Stand-up comedy is a weird and difficult medium for artistic expression. The Discomfort Zone is where stand-up comedians go to make things even weirder and more difficult for themselves, telling stories instead of jokes. l In this show, Tampa Bay-based stand-up comedians Clark Brooks, Elijah Hernandez, Jeff Klein, Kaiti McCoy, Cara Millburg and Natasha Samreny will step out of their normal environment of set-ups, punchlines and (ideally) laughter into the realm of storytelling which consists of character, plot, setting, and tension. Let’s see what happens!"
TAMPA NEWS FORCE LIVE: LATE NIGHT EDITION
May 11-24, 2023 - Screendoor Cinema, Tampa Fringe Festival

The local creators of Tampa Bay-centric satire and parody will put on a show after the fashion of “The Tonight Show” (when it was good) and other staples of a soon-to-be bygone era. “Tampa News Force Live” will feature co-hosts Josh Santos and Clark Brooks, music, comedy, special guests and some surprises, all presented in front of live “studio” audiences. Among the special guest performers will be local burlesque superstar Katie James as Miss TNF."
