The right-wingers increasingly growing their share of the electorate in the Bay area always lament the Portland-ing of anything around here, but they might make an exception for Fred Armisen.

The 58-year-old comedian, musician and co-creator of “Portlandia” is taking a break from “All In” on Broadway to bring fans his “Comedy for Musicians But Everyone is Welcome” tour.

The show is a comedy gig, make no mistake, but Armisen is set to turn Tampa’s historic movie palace into something like a living room in between getting behind the drum kit (like he does leading the 8G Band for “Late Night with Seth Meyers”) and other instruments to play songs from “Saturday Night Live” and other parodies.

The outing sold-pretty well, too, since a second show has been added for 9:30 p.m.

Tickets to see Fred Armisen play Tampa Theatre on Friday, April 4 are still available and start at $35.
