A NIGHT of COMEDY!!

Published on

JUANITA LOLITA     is coming to TANGLEWOOD!

Juanita Lolita’s comedy career began when a coworker signed her up for an open mic night.  Within one year she was performing for over 7000 women at a church conference in Atlanta and since then has performed throughout the United States at Comedy Clubs, Churches and Corporations.

Recently she was voted Tampa’s funniest female, Creative Loafing Magazine’s “Best of the Bay” and was a finalist in the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas.

Juanita has been featured on CTN, ABC, several radio shows and her Dry BAR comedy special was released July of 2022.   Juanita won the 2024 Sherri Shepherd Funny over Fifty nationwide  contest and performed on her Daytime talk show.   Her Latin flair and hillbilly background have quickly become a crowd favorite.  Juanita takes joy in the fact that she can make you laugh hysterically without profanity.   Her comedy focuses on
observations from everyday life that we can all relate to, and she closes out
each show with her much anticipated ‘list of things she doesn’t understand’.

You may have been lucky enough to have seen Juanita when she performed for Jennifer Wolfs’ annual Christmas party or maybe when she did a benefit at Union Church or maybe on the “mystery trip” with Trips and Travel.  If so you’ll know what an exciting night it will be.

So WHY is Juanita coming to entertain us?   It will be a benefit for Sandi Deavers.   Sandy is a long time resident of Tanglewood and you may have seen her around pulling weeds and trimming and all that yard work stuff.   (not to be confused with the “weed lady”)   Sandy’s been out of the spotlight for a while……….she’s been battling Stage 4 brain and lung cancer, having surgery, getting radiation, traveling to Moffitt for treatment and the whole nine yards.   When her insurance was found inadequate she was required to put down a chunk of money on her credit card.   The benefit is to help her pay the interest on that debt!!!!   Kidding…..but we do have a great opportunity to jelp;  you can attend the performance, have a fantastic evening and help out one of Tanglewood’s own!  The beauty is……..you can pick how you want to help.    There will be many opportunities!!

What a grand evening it will be.    We’ll start out the evening offering you a Chick-fil-a chicken sandwich basket.         This will consist of a Chick-fil-a sandwich with all the fixins,  potato chips and a cookie.   We hope to sell this out the back door of the kitchen so if you don’t want to attend the benefit you can still eat.         (The line will be shorter than at Chic-fil-a!)

 

Then there will be a FANTASTIC  PRIZE raffle………..click on blue link to see all the prizes and their values!!  Raffle Prizes COMEDY NIGHT

We invite you to come share this great TANGLEWOOD evening and leave you with this thought:

We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.   If you are always there for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.   Jeff Warner
