| Jo-Lynn Brown

It’s not a traditional business event, but it will be funny business.

Six Tampa Bay entrepreneurs and chief executive officers will be performing live, stand-up routines at the Tampa Improv, on September 6, at The Entrepreneur & CEO Stand-Up Challenge.

The show is curated by “humor scientist,” and Las Vegas headliner, Matt Kazam in a program designed to foster personal growth, and development, and combines the art of comedy with the strategic mindset of business leaders, according to a statement.

Over the duration of a six-week program, participants immersed themselves in the science of joke writing and performance techniques, culminating in a 12–15-minute stand-up routine.

The lineup includes:

•          Kevin Harrington, the original shark from Shark Tank and the inventor of the infomercial

•          Nick Friedman and Omar Soliman, co-founders of College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving

•          Kevin Curtis, founder and lead consultant for National Educators for Restorative Practices

•          Alison Friedman, executive director of the Carolina Performing Arts Center
