T Func
T Func is a stand-up comedian from Tampa, Fl. His pursuit of spreading humor and humility across the bay has been going on since 2006 with his debut of the "string joke." The "string joke" is the infamous joke where a string walks into a bar and turns into "a frayed knot." He has no claim to fortune, in which may make him different from the regular styled comedians out there.
As said in his book, "I have married and then I got divorced with the kids still intact." He placed mysterious words back to back with each other, attempting to describe why his life in someways has made him upset. It is as if the divorce gave him the courage to be able to make jokes out of his life to get by the sad times. T Func is known for having two kids and allows them to partake in his recordings that he usually releases on Kinky Noise Records, a local do it by yourself kind of record label that has been in existence since the late 1990s. His children's most notable performance is featured on his "Left-Handers Ball" cassette tape that was released in 2009 on Kinky Noise Records. Not only was it a huge stepping stone for his children, but it allowed T Func to get out there and share his creativity to those that like to laugh.
The story of T Func has its "triumphant" moments when it comes down to it. In his book, T Func says,"Many question the fact as to why I want to Live in Tampa, and tell jokes." T Func does not clearly ever answer the question that has been asked of him in a clearly stated form, however he has been quoted in the past to say that, "Tampa is great." The book never states how long he has lived in Tampa, but it is assumed that he was born elsewhere and then relocated to Tampa, Fl in the early 1990s.
One of T Func's greatest feats is the collaboration with Tampa's very own Astrovian Prince in the band that they created Astrovian Func. To this date it is the only duo that does not have drums in Tampa, Fl. Their equipment contains a microphone, for T Func, and a violin, for the Astrovian Prince. It is known that the Astrovian Prince has swayed from the violin at times and has played the organ or an electronic keyboard to ensue the crowd on a more personal level. This band was started around 2007, but it is difficult to confirm. In the T Func book it is said by the Astrovian Prince, "Working with T Func is as easy as eating breakfast." So that shows the workmanship that T Func has. T Func makes him feel welcome.
There have been dark days that have faced T Func in his face and one of the most notable events is known as the "Heckling at the Boom Boom." The Boom Boom is known as the Boom Boom Classroom, that was a venue for locals in Tampa created by Then and Than and Pro Bro Dog who are also in the music scene in Tampa, Fl. The "Heckling at the Boom Boom" was an event described by T Func as "a persons worst nightmare", that occurred in late 2007. T Func has said that he has been heckled before and this one time, it is as if it was too much to bare. T Func was performing at the Boom Boom Classroom, when a "person from the crowd" had given him the worst treatment by throwing trash and yelling "words" that resulted in T Func walking off the stage. The person has been said to have never been recognized, but allowed T Func to prosper from that event and use it as his stepping stone to be more prepared for things of the sort. T Func claims that, "since that event I have had my feet flat on the floor and I will not fall on my face like I did when I witnessed the Heckling at the Boom Boom."
