Appearing this weekend at Side Splitters Comedy Club in Tampa, Fla. is FRANKIE PAUL, August 23 - 26.

Frankie's loveable, animated attitude gasses the masses and takes the crowd on a crazy roller coaster full of uproarious laughter. If laughter is truly the best medicine, then Frankie Paul should be Surgeon General. He knew from a young age that he had a knack for making people laugh! In school, he was a real class clown. He was able to make the teacher laugh along with the kids. Therefore, avoiding a trip to the principal's office. Born in New York City, Frankie and his family moved to the small town of Melbourne, Florida when he was seven years old. He remains there today with his wife and two children. Frankie says "Everything I've learned, I've learned under a palm tree."

Appearing next weekend will be Robert Kelly, September 6 - 8.

Robert Kelly has overcome many hardships in his life, all of which have made him the actor/comedian he is today. From his early days as a kid growing up in Boston in and out of Juvenile Hall, Kelly's unique, honest take on his own life and his relationships make his comedy clever, abrasive, funny, and yet refreshingly vulnerable.

He has been winning over audiences for the last 18 years. In addition to clubs and colleges nationwide, Kelly has traveled across the country in the "Tourgasm Live" tour with Dane Cook and Gary Gulman. He is a regular on the Opie and Anthony radio show and has performed at the "Just For Laughs Festival" in Montreal (2008 and 2010). He has also appeared at the South Beach Comedy Festival, HBO's Comedy Festival (Las Vegas), and the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival (Aspen 2007). In 2009, he performed for over 1 million people in 80 arenas across the country as a feature on Dane Cook's, "Isolated Incident Tour."

His extensive TV comedy credits include the recent Comedy Central Special "Comics Anonymous," "Comedy Central PresentsÉRobert Kelly," HBO's "Tourgasm," "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (ABC), "Premium Blend" (Comedy Central), "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" (Comedy Central), "The Carson Daly Show" (NBC), "Awesomely Oversexed" (VH1) and MTV's "The Jim Breuer Show."

Kelly's acting credits include portraying Louie CK's brother (Robbie) on "Louie" (FX), "Law & Order" (NBC), "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (NBC), as a detective playing opposite, Vincent d'Onofrio, on NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and a guest starring role on "The Job" with Denis Leary (ABC).

His movie credits include "Ghost Town," "What Doesn't Kill You," "Children of Invention," "Bachelor No. 2" and "Good Luck Chuck." He also just finished producing and starring in his first short film, "Shooting Angles."
