Buddy Brew and Blind Tiger have Gasparilla roasts that’ll give you the energy to get through the festivities, but The Commodore has a roast that’ll leave you in stitches.
For the second year in a row, the theater welcomes comedians to the stage to torch Tampa’s favorite pirate who never existed. The roast is the late show for Commodore and preceded by “The Captain’s Wheel” a one-night-only competitive improv show hosted by none other than Gaspar himself (played by Robert Ebeid).
Commodore co-founder Kelly Buttermore is sending us the comedian lineup, and we’ll update the post as soon as we have it.
Tickets for the Roast of Jose Gaspar happening Friday, Jan. 24 at The Commodore Theater in Ybor City are still available for $12.
