Naples, We Have a Problem (and Two Comedians to Solve It)

## Laugh Your Shells Off: Natalie Cuomo & Dan LaMorte Bring the Heat to Naples, Florida (and Tampa Too!) Alright, Naples folks, get ready to ditch the beach for a night and clutch your pearls (of laughter, of course)! Word on the street is comedy powerhouses Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte are gracing the Sunshine State with their presence, and while the initial buzz is about their Tampa gig at Off The Hook Comedy Club in 2025, we here in Naples deserve a piece of that comedic pie, don’t we? So, let’s talk about why this is a big deal. First off, Natalie Cuomo. This lady is a force of nature. Her comedy is sharp, relatable, and pulls no punches. Imagine a hurricane of hilarity swirling through Fifth Avenue South, leaving a trail of side-splitting laughter in its wake. That’s Natalie. She tackles everything from the absurdities of modern dating (anyone else swiping left in Naples and just seeing the same five profiles on repeat?) to the joys and struggles of family life (because let’s be real, navigating Thanksgiving dinner with snowbird relatives can be a comedy show in itself). Natalie’s got that “I’ve been there” vibe that instantly connects with the audience, whether you’re a seasoned Naples socialite or a newcomer still figuring out the difference between a gator and a crocodile. And then there’s Dan LaMorte. This guy’s comedic timing is like a perfectly executed golf swing at Tiburón – smooth, powerful, and guaranteed to land right in the funny bone. He’s got that observational humor that makes you see the everyday ridiculousness of life in a whole new light. Think waiting in line at Seed to Table on a Saturday morning or trying to parallel park a Cadillac Escalade downtown – we’ve all been there, and Dan captures those moments with witty precision. He’s the kind of comedian who makes you laugh so hard your stomach hurts, which, let’s be honest, is a much better kind of pain than that sunburn you got kayaking in the Ten Thousand Islands. So, why should we, the wonderful residents of Naples, demand a slice of this comedic action? Because we deserve it, darn it! We work hard, we play hard, and we deserve a good laugh. Picture this: a balmy Naples evening, the sun setting over the Gulf, and you’re sitting in a cozy venue, cocktail in hand, roaring with laughter at the comedic genius of Cuomo and LaMorte. It’s the perfect antidote to another day of battling traffic on US 41 or dodging tourists on Third Street South. Plus, Naples has a vibrant arts and culture scene, and bringing in comedians of this caliber only adds to that richness. We’ve got the stunning beaches, the world-class dining, the high-end shopping – why not add top-notch comedy to the mix? It would be like adding a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt to an already delectable dish – that perfect finishing touch. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But the announcement is for Tampa in 2025! What about us?” Well, my friends, that’s where we come in. We need to make some noise! Let’s show these comedians how much Naples wants them. We can flood their social media with requests, contact local venues like the Sugden Community Theatre or the Norris Center, and generally make it known that we’re ready to roll out the red carpet (or maybe a luxurious beach towel) for a night of unforgettable laughter. Think about the possibilities! Imagine a show at Cambier Park with the Naples skyline as a backdrop. Or a more intimate setting at a local restaurant like The Continental or Tommy Bahama. We could even incorporate some local flavor into the act – jokes about the Naples Pier, the dolphins in the bay, or the ever-present threat of lovebugs. The possibilities are endless! This isn’t just about a comedy show; it’s about community. It’s about bringing people together to share a laugh, to escape the everyday stresses of life, and to connect with each other over shared experiences. Laughter is the best medicine, and we could all use a healthy dose right now. So, Naples, let’s make this happen. Let’s show Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte what we’re made of. Let’s show them the warmth, the humor, and the vibrant spirit of our beautiful city. Let’s bring the laughter to Naples! Who’s with me? Let’s start a hashtag – #CuomoAndLaMorteToNaples. Spread the word, share this post, and let’s make some comedic magic happen. Because let’s be honest, life’s too short to be serious all the time. Especially in paradise. And while we’re at it, let’s brainstorm some potential Naples venues. Beyond the ones I mentioned, what other spots would be perfect for a comedy night? Could we convince a local hotel like The Ritz-Carlton or LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort to host a special event? Or maybe even a rooftop show overlooking the city? Let’s get creative, Naples! The funnier the ideas, the better. Comment below with your suggestions, and let’s make this the most hilarious community project Naples has ever seen. Don’t forget to tag Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte on social media! Let’s get their attention and show them how serious we are about bringing their comedic talents to our sunny shores. Imagine the buzz it would create, the excitement it would generate. Naples would be the talk of the comedy world! And who knows, maybe if we make enough noise, they’ll even write some Naples-specific material. Imagine jokes about the snowbird migration, the endless construction on 41, or the struggle of finding a parking spot downtown during season. The possibilities are endless, and the laughs would be guaranteed. So, Naples, let’s do this! Let’s bring the laughter, the joy, and the comedic genius of Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte to our beautiful city. Let’s show them what we’re made of and create a night of unforgettable fun. #CuomoAndLaMorteToNaples – let’s make it trend!
