You always have to keep your eye on the Tampa Improv's calendar, because every now and then, they'll sneak a pretty good show up on you.

Case in point: Leslie Jones.

The Emmy-nominated Saturday Night Live star has just announced a weekend of dates at the Improv in Ybor City. She'll perform there Aug. 24-26. Tickets are $50. Click here for details.

Jones is a veteran standup who's been performing since the '80s, but her star really took off when she joined the SNL cast in 2014. That led to roles in films like Ghostbusters and social media superstardom, culminating in gigs covering the Olympics for NBC.

This will be her first stand-up appearance in Tampa that we've seen since she got super-famous, so it wouldn't be shocking to see each of her shows sell out. Don't wait until the day of to get yours.
