by Anthony Wilkinson

Special Mainstage Comedy Event

Directed by Kevin Michael Still

June 18th - 27th, 2027

Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.

Sundays at 2 p.m.


A hilarious and heartfelt sequel to the hit comedy My Big Gay Italian Wedding, this over-the-top family reunion finds the outrageous clan you met and loved last year gathering for one unforgettable funeral.

As relatives, ex-lovers, nosy neighbors, and dramatic family friends descend upon the ceremony, long-buried secrets and explosive confrontations turn a solemn occasion into complete comedic chaos.

Packed with sharp one-liners, colorful characters, and nonstop surprises, My Big Gay Italian Funeral celebrates family in all its messy, loving glory.

Beneath the laughter and larger-than-life antics lies a touching story about love, loss, acceptance, and the bonds that hold families together—even when they drive each other crazy. Equal parts sitcom-style comedy and heartfelt tribute, this crowd-pleasing hit delivers outrageous fun with genuine emotional warmth, making it a perfect night of laughter for audiences of all backgrounds.

This special event is not included in any season ticket package. Season ticket holders will receive priority ticket access, 10% off tickets and reserved VIP seating.

Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.

My Big Gay Italian Funeral is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
