TAMPA – Whitney Cummings will soon bring her sharp wit and fearless perspective to the Tampa Theatre stage.
Fans can expect her laugh-out-loud takes on the chaos of personal growth, owning her mistakes and her humorous reflections on raising a son, at 7 p.m. Feb. 22. Tickets for the comedian’s Big Baby tour are on sale now.
“I used to think having a kid would be the end of my comedy and touring career, so it’s been a miracle to see so many people coming out to hear what I have to say about motherhood and being so excited for me to finally grow up and start building a family after sharing so much about my crappy childhood and relationship mistakes,” Cummings said. “Also, I’m trying to leave California, so each city I go to, I’m also auditioning for a new hometown!”
Tickets range from $29.75 to $74.75 plus applicable taxes and fees. Get them at the Franklin Street Box Office or tampatheatre.org. A limited number of Post-Show VIP Meet & Greet add-on tickets will also be available.
