DELRAY BEACH – Comics flocking to South Florida in search of stage time proved to be one of the few positives generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two such comics, Matt Bellak and Tim Hanlon, spent the better part of a couple years down here waiting for the nation to re-open. In doing so, they became regular headliners at area shows.
But it couldn’t last forever.
The duo relocated to Texas a couple months back. South Florida’s loss has been Austin’s gain.
Bellak and Hanlon aren’t about to forget their South Florida comedy ties, however. The duo is bringing their Dope City Comedy Tour to the Palm Beach Improv on Thursday for one show – and it figures to be a good one.
Real Estate agent by day, comic by night, Jimmy Clifford has been touring with the Dope Duo of late and will be the opener on Thursday.
Catching this triple threat? Sounds like a great way to spend a Thursday. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are $20.
