TAMPA — “Batsu!” will bring the hilarity and manic pacing of Japanese game shows to the stage when it comes to the Tampa Bay area for shows running March 3-8 in Jaeb Theater at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. W.C. MacInnes Place, Tampa.
Tickets start at $41.80. Visit strazcenter.org.
In “Batsu!” comedy Warriors compete in ever-more ridiculous challenges, with losers suffering ever-more humiliating punishments. Contestants who lose a challenge can be subjected to punishments such as electrical shocks, paintballs and a giant, egg-smashing chicken. The show has been running in New York City since 2011, has played sold-out runs in London and Edinburgh, and is currently enjoying a long run in Chicago.
This show is intended for audiences 18 and older.
