Paul Guzzo’s got stories, including a couple 2013 bylines on Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, plus more in La Gaceta, the Tampa Tribune (RIP) and now the Tampa Bay Times.

The reporter, who should be Pulitzer-nominated for his work uncovering local lost Black cemeteries, pretty much owns the Tampa beat and takes the stage at this Ybor City improv theater for a show where the guest (Guzzo) tells stories before improvisers turn the tales into comedy.

Tickets to “Salud and Happy Days” feat. Paul Guzzo happening Friday, March 8 at The Commodore in Ybor City are still available for $12. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
