Arts & Culture

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) announces the run of the popular free-form show, FST Improv Presents: Comedy Roulette and the date for FST Improv Presents: Tournament of Fools, a one-night-only performance for April Fool’s Day. Tickets are $15 and are now on sale at FloridaStudioTheatre.org or 941.366.9000.FST Improv’s free-form show, Comedy Roulette, is an off-the-wall improvisation potpourri where performers are freed from the traditional “do’s and don’ts” of improv. Instead, improvisers are encouraged to “follow the funny” and launch into a new scene or storyline whenever inspiration strikes. Comedy Roulette plays Saturdays in FST’s Bowne’s Lab from April 8 to May 17, 2023. To celebrate April Fool’s Day, FST Improv presents Tournament of Fools, its annual knockdown, drag-out comedy battle royale where the winner takes all, on Saturday, April 1. Twelve FST Improv ensemble members will compete in a series of improvised scenes, songs, and games to win over the audience’s laughter and applause in the hopes of winning the coveted title of “Champion of the Fools.” After each round, the audience votes on who stays and who goes. In the end, there can only be one comedian left standing. Taking the Bowne’s Lab stage in Tournament of Fools and Comedy Roulette are returning cast members: Kevin Allen, Sylvia Day, Sarah Durham, Darryl Knapp, Will Luera, Shawn McWhinnie, Sal Piccolo, Autumn Steiner, and Matt Walker. Jim Prosser or Helena Rankin will alternate as musical improvisers on the piano at each performance.
