Hemingway in a Funny Way at Comedy Key West

Comedy Key West is delighted to bring back its original show celebrating the funny side of the life and works of Ernest Hemingway. Set just a few blocks from the famed Hemingway House, where he lived and wrote for nine years, and around the corner from his legendary watering hole, Sloppy Joe’s, this one-of-a-kind performance offers a playful look at one of Key West’s most iconic figures.

Comedian and writer James Scott Patterson takes audiences on an hourlong journey through Hemingway’s childhood, writing career, adventures, and, of course, his drinking days. The humor ranges from tragic-comic, fitting for Ernest Hemingway, to witty, wild, and almost too unbelievable to be true.

The show runs from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. as a happy hour celebration and includes a complimentary glass of Hemingway’s favorite wine, Valpolicella, with each ticket. Join Comedy Key West for an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, literary lore, and Key West history.
