With six major comedy talents in this one-night show at Amalie Arena, the Black and Brown Comedy Get Down is a blockbuster comedy lineup with Cedric the Entertainer, Mike Epps, Eddie Griffin, George Lopez, D.L. Hughley and Charlie Murphy. Talk about a star-studded lineup. You have a couple of talk show hosts (Lopez and Hughley), two of the four Original Kings of Comedy (Cedric and Hughley) and stars of films and TV shows (Griffin and Epps). Comedians are rarely booked into a venue this large but when you have the A-list of comedians of color, you need to make some room. Tickets are $46.50-$62.50 for the 8 p.m. Friday show at 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa. (813) 301-2500. amaliearena.com.
