Tampa Theatre and Live Nation are proud to announce that comedian Nimesh Patel will make Tampa Theatre’s historic stage a stop on his Fast and Loose Tour at 7:30pm Friday, Sept. 29.

Nimesh Patel is an Emmy-nominated writer who has risen the ranks to some of comedy’s biggest stages due to his unassailable joke writing, prolific output, and pioneering use of technology. In the past two years, Nimesh has self-released three stand-up specials and has charted a path from sold out comedy clubs to major theaters.

Nimesh most recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and before that made his late night debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers. His self-released specials “Jokes To Get You Through Quarantine,” “Thank You, China,” and “Lucky Lefty” have amassed millions of views. 

His first writing job came after Chris Rock saw him perform standup and hired him directly to write for the 2016 Academy Awards and tour with him. Since then, he has written for Saturday Night Live, A Little Late with Lilly Singh, and The White House Correspondents Dinner, and was a producer for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.

Tickets range from $34.50-$59.50 plus applicable taxes and fees ($42-$68.75 total at the Box Office & $45.75-$73.50 total online), and will go on sale at 10:00am Friday, June 16.
