For the first time, American Legion Post 222 is turning its comedy night into an interactive entertainment experience where the audience won’t just watch the show—you may become part of it.
Join us Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 7:30 PM for A Night of Clean Comedy, Magic and Games, starring Seetha the Comic, an award-winning corporate entertainer whose unique variety show combines clean stand-up comedy, magic, game-show-style competition, improv, and spontaneous audience interaction.
Seetha has performed more than 1,000 shows, appeared on Amazon Prime, Roku, and The Staten Island Comedy Show, and competed in comedy festivals and competitions across the country. Now he’s bringing his interactive show to American Legion Post 222 for an affordable night of laughter, surprises and shared fun.
South Florida comedian Kim Cottrell joins the lineup with sharply relatable comedy about marriage, motherhood, raising twins, and the wonderfully strange things families do behind closed doors.

American Legion Post 222’s First Interactive Comedy and Game Show
Most comedy shows ask you to sit down, watch the stage, and try not to become the person a comedian notices in the front row.
This show is different.
For the first time at American Legion Post 222, the evening will combine live stand-up comedy with magic, games, improv, and direct audience participation.
Seetha the Comic’s variety-show format is designed to get people laughing and playing together instead of simply sitting beside one another. Expect comedy, visual surprises, game-show-style moments, and opportunities for audience members to become part of the entertainment.
You might answer a question.
You might join a team.
You might help with a magic effect.
You might discover that your friend is extremely competitive when absolutely nothing important is at stake.
The exact direction of the show depends partly on the people in the room—which means the funniest moments may be the ones nobody could have planned in advance.
It’s part stand-up comedy show, part magic show, and part live game show, all happening in the friendly, community-centered atmosphere of American Legion Post 222.
🎤 Seetha the Comic: Award-Winning Comedian, Magician and Game-Show Host
Seetha the Comic is not simply a stand-up comedian. He is an award-winning comedian, magician, game-show host, keynote speaker and corporate entertainer who has developed an entire performance style around getting audiences involved.
Originally from India, Seetha earned a master’s degree in Management Information Systems from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and spent more than 20 years working as a software engineer.
Then came the midlife crisis.
Instead of buying a sports car, Seetha bought a microphone.
He now jokes that he used to debug code but spends his time debugging audiences with laughter.
That unconventional path gives Seetha a perspective unlike almost anyone else working the South Florida comedy circuit. His material draws from technology, relationships, cultural differences, family life, career changes and the experience of leaving a predictable professional path to become a full-time entertainer.
Comedy was only the beginning.
Seetha added magic, improv, and game-show elements to create an interactive variety show designed to make audiences feel included without putting anyone under uncomfortable pressure. His performances can incorporate clean stand-up, close-up magic, improv games, Family Feud-style competition, audience challenges and spontaneous interaction.
His work has now taken him through more than 1,000 performances for corporate events, private functions, comedy clubs and international audiences.
Seetha’s television and streaming credits include a stand-up appearance on The Staten Island Comedy Show, a New York-based television program featuring comedians performing for both a studio audience and viewers at home. His screen work has also included the faith-based crime drama The Advocate, available through streaming platforms including Amazon Prime and Roku.
He has participated in comedy festivals and competitions including:
- Florida’s Funniest Comedian
- Fort Lauderdale Improv Turkey Contest
- Very Big Very Asian Comedy Festival
- Laugh Riot Grrrl Comedy Festival
- Sixth City Comedy Festival
- Comedy Chateau International Comedy Festival
- Burbank Comedy Festival
- Orlando Comedy Festival
Seetha has also developed EngageX, his structured approach to interactive corporate entertainment, built from the lessons learned during hundreds of live performances. The format uses comedy, games, magic, and participation to keep an audience’s energy moving and create an experience people actually remember and talk about afterward.
On August 27, he brings that experience to American Legion Post 222 for the venue’s first interactive comedy, magic, and game-show event.
You won’t just be watching a comedian tell jokes.
You’ll be watching a veteran entertainer read the room, involve the crowd and turn the audience itself into one of the stars of the show.
🎭 Featuring Kim Cottrell
Kim Cottrell is a South Florida comedian who finds her material exactly where most parents lose their patience: at home.
Her comedy focuses on marriage, motherhood, family life, her husband, raising twins, and the weird places children leave their socks.
That specificity is what makes Kim’s comedy connect. She isn’t delivering generic “being a mom is hard” material. She finds the ridiculous details inside the everyday routines, conversations and minor household disasters that couples and parents immediately recognize.
Kim has performed throughout the South Florida comedy circuit, including an appearance as a featured comedian at the Fort Lauderdale Improv, along with shows at comedy clubs, theaters and independent rooms around the region.
She also hosts Is This Anything?, an online open mic that gives comedians a place to test new jokes and determine whether a developing idea is ready to become part of a finished set.
Kim brings an easy, conversational delivery to the stage, but underneath that relaxed style is the timing of someone who has learned how to turn real family experiences into sharp punchlines.
Parents will recognize themselves.
Married couples may recognize each other.
People without children can simply enjoy the confirmation that they made a reasonable life choice.
🎙️ Jay Risk
Jay Risk is a South Florida comedian, entertainment producer, and media professional whose experience extends well beyond the stand-up stage.
Jay has worked across television, live theater, syndicated radio, and streaming networks and is the owner of Risk Productions Media. His background gives him an understanding of both sides of live entertainment: performing in front of an audience and handling the production work required to put a complete show together.
🎤 Johnny Fazzingo
Johnny Fazzingo is the Brooklyn-born, South Florida-based comedian and producer behind Fazzingo’s Comedy Showcase and Open Mic.
Johnny’s stage style reflects his Brooklyn upbringing: fast-talking yet warm-hearted, street-smart, energetic, and always ready to interact with the room.
After getting his start through the Panzeca Approach Comedy Workshops at Sadman Comedy Cafe in Boca Raton, Johnny quickly became active in the South Florida comedy community as both a performer and show producer.
He has created recurring showcases and open mics at venues including Tall Boy, Holloway’s Irish Pub, Tipperary Irish Pub, Uncle Kimmy’s Bar and American Legion Post 222, helping bring live comedy into local bars, restaurants and community spaces throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties.
Johnny has performed with touring professionals, regional headliners, comedy-contest finalists and rising local talent. His experience hosting unpredictable rooms makes him especially suited to a show where the audience may become part of the action.
He will help keep the comedy moving, interact with the crowd and make sure the evening remains fun—even if somebody discovers that losing a game in front of their friends is apparently a deeply personal insult.
More Than a Traditional Stand-Up Comedy Show
This event brings several forms of live entertainment together in one evening:
- 😂 Stand-up comedy from four distinctive performers
- 🎩 Interactive magic
- 🎮 Game-show-style audience challenges
- 🙋 Voluntary audience participation
- 🎭 Improv and spontaneous comedy
- 🧠 Quick thinking and unscripted reactions
- 👥 Group entertainment designed to bring people together
- 🇺🇸 A community event supporting American Legion Post 222
Every audience creates a different show.
A volunteer gives an unexpected answer.
A simple game becomes absurdly competitive.
A magic effect takes an unplanned turn.
A comedian notices something happening across the room.
One spontaneous moment becomes the joke everyone is still talking about after the show.
That unpredictability is exactly what makes interactive entertainment so much fun.
