Naples Comics Hit Tampa Stage

## Naples Gets Ready to Laugh: A Deep Dive into the Comedy Scene and the Upcoming Natalie Cuomo & Dan LaMorte Gig (…But in 2025?!) Alright, Naples folks, get ready to clutch your sides! Word on the street (or, you know, the internet) is that comedy powerhouses Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte are gracing us with their presence… eventually. Now, I gotta admit, the article I stumbled upon mentioned a 2025 date at Tampa’s Off The Hook Comedy Club. So, we’ve got some time. But hey, anticipation is half the fun, right? Plus, it gives us a chance to explore Naples’ own burgeoning comedy scene and get ourselves primed for some serious laughter. Let’s talk about Natalie Cuomo first. This isn’t just some open-mic newbie; we’re talking about a seasoned comedian with a sharp wit and a knack for turning everyday absurdities into comedic gold. Her observational humor resonates with audiences because, let’s face it, we’ve all been there. Whether she’s riffing on the trials and tribulations of online dating or dissecting the bizarre social dynamics of a family gathering, Cuomo’s comedy is relatable, refreshingly honest, and, most importantly, hilarious. Imagine her taking on the quirks of Naples life – the snowbird season madness, the eternal quest for the perfect beach parking spot, the subtle competition over who has the best lanai view. The possibilities are endless! And then there’s Dan LaMorte. This guy is a comedic force of nature. With a high-energy delivery and a rapid-fire joke style, LaMorte doesn’t just tell jokes, he performs them. He’s a master of physical comedy, incorporating impressions and characters into his act to create a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Picture him tackling the Naples lifestyle – navigating the roundabout chaos, deciphering the complex social hierarchy of the golf course, or perhaps even attempting to wrestle a gator (okay, maybe not, but a girl can dream). While we wait for the comedic duo to make their way down to Southwest Florida (seriously, 2025, guys?!), there’s plenty of local laughter to be found right here in Naples. Our comedy scene is thriving, with a mix of open mics, comedy clubs, and even improv troupes that are sure to tickle your funny bone. For those who enjoy a more intimate setting, there’s the Laugh In Comedy Café, tucked away in North Naples. This cozy venue offers a regular lineup of local and touring comedians, providing a great platform for up-and-coming talent. Grab a drink, settle in, and get ready for an evening of side-splitting entertainment. It’s a fantastic spot to discover your new favorite comedian and support the local comedy scene. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try your own hand at stand-up, Naples has a handful of open mic nights where you can bravely take the stage and unleash your inner comedian. Who knows, maybe you’re the next big thing! Even if you bomb spectacularly, it’s a guaranteed story to tell later (and likely a source of amusement for your friends). For those who prefer their comedy with a side of improv, check out the Naples Players’ improv troupe. These talented performers create spontaneous scenes based on audience suggestions, resulting in a unique and hilarious performance every time. It’s interactive, unpredictable, and a whole lot of fun. Beyond dedicated comedy venues, you can often find comedic entertainment woven into the fabric of Naples’ vibrant arts and culture scene. Local theaters occasionally host comedy shows, and some restaurants and bars even feature stand-up comedians as part of their entertainment lineup. Keep an eye on local event listings and you’re bound to stumble upon a comedy gem. Now, back to the main event (the eventual main event, that is). While we’re still a couple of years out from the purported Cuomo and LaMorte show in Tampa, it’s something to look forward to. Perhaps by 2025, they’ll have added a Naples date to their tour. We can dream, right? In the meantime, let’s continue to support our local comedy scene and keep the laughter alive in Naples. So, Naples, what are your favorite local comedy spots? Any up-and-coming comedians we should know about? Share your thoughts in the comments below! Let’s create a community hub for all things comedy in Southwest Florida. And who knows, maybe we can even collectively manifest a Cuomo and LaMorte appearance in our own backyard. The power of laughter is a mighty force, after all. In the meantime, keep laughing, Naples. And start practicing your best snowbird jokes – you never know when they might come in handy.
