Germany is coming to Pinellas Park — and it’s hilarious.
Tickets are now on sale for I Can Make You German 2.0 with award-winning comedian Paco Erhard — a night of sharp comedy, cold German beer, delicious food, and laugh-out-loud cultural chaos.
Expect Autobahn dilemmas, lederhosen truths, brutally honest German wisdom, and a room full of people having an absurdly good time. On May 29, the German-American Society transforms into #LOLtoberfest for one unforgettable night of comedy, beer, pretzels, sausages, and German fun.
Dress like a German and get $5 off. Socks with sandals? Approved. Lederhosen? We need to talk. Jack Wolfskin? Absolutely.

Kerouac lived at 5169 10th Ave. N. with his wife Stella and his mother Gabrielle in the house at 5169 10th Ave N from 1967 until his death on October 21, 1969.&nbsp;
