Coconuts Comedy Club in St. Petersburg

comedy-club.jpgIf you’re craving a fun night out that’s a little bit different from the ordinary, then Coconuts Comedy Club in St. Petersburg is the place for you. With a regular roster of live comics performing on the weekends, live music during the week, and an open mic night for comics, a trip to Coconuts is sure to be a night that will keep you smiling all week. There’s even a full menu of food from snacks and appetizers to full meals and even a Tiki bar to keep you well-fed and relaxed during the shows.

Coconuts Comedy Club is a chain of comedy clubs operating throughout Florida and the United States. However, it has its origins right here in Pinellas County. The original Coconuts was opened in St. Petersburg in 1986 as a way to fill the void of live comedy in the Pinellas County night life. The concept of a comedy club/restaurant combination took off wildly, and the addition of nationally known comics added to the club’s appeal. It wasn’t long before Coconuts took off and became one of the most popular destinations in Pinellas County. It was only a matter of time before other business owners wanted in on this successful comedy club model, and a franchise was born.

While you can get tickets to shows at the door, it’s usually a good idea to book in advance for the most popular comics, as those shows sell out fast. You can rent the club out for private functions, and gift certificates are available. Treat yourself and your friends to something other than the usual dinner and a movie the next time you go out by catching a show and a great meal all in one at Coconuts Comedy Club.

It’s also a large shopping hub, with a multitude of service and retail jobs available at any given moment.

In addition to shopping, there’s a lot to see and do in sunny Largo. Golf is a popular pastime in the community, with plenty of courses to keep any enthusiast busy. The Gulf Coast Museum of Art and Florida Botanical Gardens are there for people who enjoy cultural activities and appreciate the natural beauty of central Florida. Plus, the Largo Cultural Center offers a constant parade of nationally and internationally known acts such as Fleetwood Mac and Juice Newton. If you’re interested in the history of the area, the Pinellas County Heritage Village is in town, and is waiting to take you back in time to an era of large, stately farm homes, abundant agriculture, and genteel Southern society.

Many people visit Pinellas County each year to see St. Petersburg or to visit the beaches. However, you’re missing out if you don’t come to Largo. There’s no doubt about it….Largo is the place to be when you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path in Pinellas County.
