Tampa, FL, February 18, 2008 --(PR.com)-- National Radio Star Bubba the Love Sponge®’s Night of Live Comedy & Entertainment Coming to Star Plaza Theatre for One Show Only

Tickets are now on sale for Bubbapalooza, a night of adult comedy and entertainment hosted by national radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge®, taking place on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana. Showtime is 9 pm.

Bubbapalooza is a live, multi-media production featuring some of the Bubba the Love Sponge Show®’s funniest and most popular personalities, routines, parodies and rants. After selling out recent Bubbapaloozas in Phoenix and Las Vegas, Bubba the Love Sponge©, a native of Warsaw, Indiana who started his radio career in 1986 in Terre Haute, said, “We had to respond to our many fans in the Chicagoland area, who demanded that we bring Bubbapalooza to them.”

Bubba the Love Sponge® is one of radio’s top-rated hosts and programs. After almost 20 years in terrestrial radio, Bubba (who goes by his federally trademarked nickname) was recruited by radio revolutionary Howard Stern to host a national, uncensored talk show on Sirius Satellite Radio, which launched in January 2006 and has become one of the most popular programs in all of satellite radio. Bubba also hosts a live morning program on terrestrial radio stations WHPT-FM/Tampa, FL and WFYV-FM/Jacksonville, FL, making him the first to host two separate, full-length daily radio programs on both satellite and terrestrial radio.

Bubbapalooza will be co-hosted by Bubba, and will feature Bubba the Love Sponge® Show co-hosts Ned, Manson, Brent Hatley and Spice, along with regulars 25 Cent, Hammil, Miller and others. A limited number of VIP tickets that include a pre-show meet-and-greet ($154.50 each), and general admission tickets ($55.00 each), are available through TicketMaster or by calling (219) 791-1234.
