Just the thought of seeing Steve Martin on Friday night had me giddy in my office chair all week. Finally, the time came, and I found myself equally giddy in my theater chair anticipating the start of the show. The crowd was much more diverse and younger than the typical…
In South Florida, we are lucky enough to experience summer weather throughout the year. So it’s a good thing the City of Fort Lauderdale is providing us with a truly epic reminder that the king of all seasons is finally on its way. It is doing it bigger than big…
Steve Martin is a multi-talented legend, in a way that shames even Justin Timberlake. The comic icon has proven himself as a king of the funnies and master of the banjo. His music prowess is so that when talking to friends about his performance at Kravis Center on May 24,…
We learn pretty quickly after those intense elementary-school finger-painting sessions that the real-world definition of “art” is as expansive and varied as those who partake in creating it. The good artists, the ones who always get us thinking, focus on the fact that art is not something that can be…
Local art bazaars and outdoor market-style festivals are always a good time, but every once in a while, you need a real cultural turbo boost. And while your friend selling spray-painted vinyl for $10 at your Saturday-night hangout seems artsy enough, it might just be the perfect time to step…
Nothing beats shrugging off the 9-to-5 workweek like a Saturday basking in the great outdoors. How about one cruising on your bike up the scenic A1A coastal highway? Throw in raising buttloads of cash benefiting four local HIV/AIDS service organizations and you’ve got yourself a ride worth taking. Bike It…
Each year, West Palm Beach is granted its fill of national acts thanks to the waterfront concert SunFest. This year, there’s a buttload of big names, like Smashing Pumpkins and Slightly Stoopid, Kendrick Lamar and Black Crowes. But the folks behind the scenes are no dummies; they know that South…
Don’t blink too long, or it’ll already be SunFest! For the average downtown West Palmer, our whole year revolves around this five-day festival of awesomeness. It’s basically the only time any huge national music acts come to Clematis. Oh, and wait, there’re like 50 of them! For the newbie, this…
Paul Rodriguez is more than just one of “those guys that was in that thing.” You know him from The Newlywed Game, if you’re a little older, and the Original Kings of Comedy if you’re not so old. He’s been around show business so long that his son is almost…
Bobby Lee is the perfect amount of famous: He can still do whatever he wants, as long as it gets a laugh. He has remained underground enough to play small clubs, but he’s on the A-team of the comedy world, having partnered with friends such as Seth Rogen and Sacha…
Bobby Lee is that perfect amount of famous where he can still do whatever he wants, as long as it gets a laugh. Staying underground and performing small clubs, he’s gained enough credibility in the comic world to team with the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen and even film a…
50 Shades of Grey has dominated book shelves and middle-aged women everywhere are still left yearning for more. While rumors are still circulating about who will be cast in the book’s film adaptation (Mila Kunis, oh pretty please), the risqué story has already catapulted onto the live stage. SPANK! The…
When beloved downtown West Palm Beach gastropub Gratify closed their doors last July, a little piece of champagne brunch died along with it.

Harland Williams is one lucky guy. He managed to score small but important roles in some of the biggest movies of the ’90s, like Dumb & Dumber (in which he drank pee) and There’s Something About Mary. But his signature moments, like accidentally killing a horse with Funyuns in Half…

Last night, the Kravis Center spiced it up a bit and delivered a night of comedy for the mostly grey-haired audience to write their grandkids about. Billed as the latest “formal SNL stars” traveling circus, comedians Chris Kattan, Tim Meadows, and Jon Lovitz proved that they aren’t washed up.Chris Kattan…
Daniel Tosh is an interesting fellow. Since announcing yesterday that he will be performing at the Kravis Center in June, its stirred up some conversation. It seems everyone has an opinion on him, and most aren’t very good. But regardless, we can’t seem to simply flip past the Comedy Central…

Tom Cotter isn’t the most famous comedian of 2012, but he did end up being watched by most of this fine nation’s couch potatoes last year via America’s Got Talent. Cotter made it all the way to the finals with the confidence to take home the gold, only to lose…
Award show season never really tickles my fancy. It always seems like a bunch Hollywood elites schmoozing and boozing for the cameras while I’m just hoping one of them gets drunk enough to thank Jesus too many times and maybe bust an “accidental” nip slip.But when I heard funny goddesses…
SunFest, the five-day, fall-on-your-face festival, is the Christmas time, the birthday, the “my parents are out of town” of live music for downtown West Palm Beach each year. An excessively diverse lineup, a prime location right on the Intracoastal, and the ease of sneaking a water bottle full of Patrón in…
