Carrollwood Cultural Center www.carrollwoodcenter.org/ Steven Lolli - Fri, Sept 18 The ensemble is led by director and actor Toby Manion, and includes Barbara Anthony, Deb Birchler, Stephen Bell, and newcomers Grey Coleman and Max Carlie. A tribute from Ken Ludwig (“Lend Me A Tenor”, “Moon Over Buffalo”) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, “The Fox On the Fairway” takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced com- edy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with... golf. (727) 446 5898. 13355 49th Street N., Clearwater, Florida 33762. Comedian Steven Lolli, listed by Shareranks.com as one of the 50 greatest stand-up comedians of all-time, will perform at the Carrollwood Cultural Center on Friday, September 18 at 8 p.m. Lolli began earning his underground status as the only white, Jewish comedian in black comedy clubs in south LA in early 2002. He ventured to a different side of town and became an irregular act in front of an unlikely audience, gaining him cult status in LA. When he is not writing and directing, Lolli is busy headlining the “High Class Poverty” comedy tour at Performing Arts Centers and Colleges nationwide. His bold and unapologetic comedy will appeal to fans of Louis CK, George Carlin and Chris Rock. (Includes adult themes and language.) 4537 Lowell Rd, Tampa, FL, (813) 922-8167.
