What is Unholy Comedy?
Unholy Comedy Show is an immersive night of R-rated stand-up comedy, audience tarot readings, music, and more. Winner of the 2023 Creative Loafing's Best Of The Bay's Critic's Choice award, Unholy Comedy Show's guests can expect hilarious R-rated stand-up comedy sets, devilish priests and nuns, and a dip into the occult as your hosts lightheartedly provide live audience tarot readings between comedy sets.
Sinners brave enough to venture out to the event will be escorted in by unholy priests and nuns, and released into the theater proper for the show — but not without confessing their sins first, of course.
Lucky and willing participants may even be punished for some of their most juicy sins.
Guests are encouraged to dress up for the occasion, enjoy a delicious snack or canned cocktail at the Unholy Concession, stay for a post-show meet and greet, and hang out with the show’s talent at the after party.
*Exclusive Unholy after party pass included with all ticket purchases. After party will be taking place at the intimate District Lounge, where there will be music, more tarot readings, craft cocktails and more. Located directly across the street from the theater.

Hosted by comedians Hugh Carey and Lauren Gray (as seen at Roast Battle with Jeff Ross at the Comedy Store), Unholy Comedy Show features a wickedly entertaining and outrageously fun, dirty comedy experience, utilizing the beautifully dark aesthetics of The Unholy Theater. This will be the third year that Lauren Gray and Hugh Carey have produced and hosted Unholy Comedy with every show selling out.
CO-HEADLINING: JOHNNY B.
For over 23 years, Johnny Bell has been entertaining comedy crowds around the country with a style that can be considered aggressive, logical, offensive, and level-headed all at the same time. It's easy to simply get on stage and say controversial things, but Johnny attacks absurd life experiences--especially his own-- with a critical eye that finds humor from different angles. He's a dad, he's been divorced twice, sang in bands, managed a night club, was a poker pro, and recently published his first book. And all of those perspectives make for hilarious observations on stage that keeps crowds laughing. He was voted Best Comedian in Tampa Bay in 2016, 2017, and 2022.
When Johnny B isn't behind the microphone at a comedy club--he's shared the stage with comedy greats such as Mitch Hedberg and Ralphie May--he's behind the microphone for terrestrial radio: As the winner of Cox Media's "Tampa Bay's Got Talent" search, he can be heard weeknights on in his 10th year of "The Johnny B Show" on 102.5 The Bone FM in the Tampa market. He can also be found in his home studio, where his popular "B Sides" podcast nets thousands of listeners each week. Wherever he performs, a comedy club, comedy night at a local bar, or a backyard BBQ, people are definitely listening(and laughing) as his stories, rants and observations that make for a unique comedy experience.
