The surrogate
It begins with a woman who yearns for a baby and another who is willing and able to give her one. You can imagine the motives of the prospective parents. But what about the woman willing to carry a baby, give birth and then walk away?

We loved Chris Porter on Last Comic Standing 4. But he was far too edgy for mainstream voters — maybe it was the jokes about drugs and condoms. Expect more of the same this weekend at the Improv Comedy Theater, 1600 E Eighth Ave., Tampa. (And maybe even more: His late Friday night show is billed for the 18 and older crowd.)

Porter performs today through Sunday. Tickets are $14 on Thursday and Sunday, $15 on Friday and Saturday. (813) 864-4000; tampaimprov.com.
