CLEARWATER — Pete Correale will bring his “As I Was Saying Tour” to the Tampa Bay area for a show on Friday, Dec. 19, 8 p.m., at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater.

Tickets start at $33. Visit www.rutheckerdhall.com or call 727-791-7400.

Correale has performed on numerous late night tv shows, as well as filming three of his own one-hour television comedy specials, including “Things We Do for Love,” “Let Me Tell Ya” and “For Pete’s Sake.” He has also released two comedy albums, “Give It a Rest” and “Made for Radio.”

Correale is also the co-host of “The Pete and Sebastian Show,” a podcast with comedian and longtime friend Sebastian Maniscalco. The show is one of the most popular comedy podcasts on air today. In its 10-year history, featured guests have included Bill Burr, Jay Mohr, Bobby Lee, Yannis Pappas, Billy Gardell and more.

Aside from his podcast, Correale has been a staff writer on several television shows, most recently “Kevin Can Wait” on CBS as well as “The Crew” on Netflix.

Correale’s love for entertainment started when he went off to college. During his senior year, he took an acting class and knew immediately what he wanted to do: be in show business. This burning desire has evolved for over 20 years to what we know it as today: a reflective comedic take on his life and the experiences he’s been through.
