The Alien Invasion edition of this late-night Halloween after party for Tampa and Orlando celebrates costumes of every kind. Arrive on theme, in a favorite Halloween look, or in the cosplay you have been waiting to wear. From the moment doors open, the energy builds with karaoke, DJs and dance floor vibes, go-go dancers, fire and aerial performances, tarot readings, photo ops, a signature costume contest, and unexpected moments throughout the night. A $20 ticket includes the first drink to start the evening right. Capture a photo with performers usually seen only on stage, show off an over-the-top outfit, and keep dancing well into the night. One night of Halloween rarely feels like enough, so this party keeps the spirit going in your own style.

Lamont Landers brings his blend of soul, rock and roll, and R&B to Skipper's in Tampa. Raised in Decatur, Alabama, he picked up the guitar as a teenager and broke out with a viral version of Ray Charles’ Hit The Road Jack that drew more than half a million views overnight. Appearances on America’s Got Talent and Showtime at the Apollo followed, along with a TikTok audience of over half a million. A repost of his Rubber Band Man cover by Questlove led to work with GRAMMY Award winner Dave Cobb, recording in Savannah, and a signing to Cobb’s Republic Records imprint, Lucile. Expect powerful vocals and originals that have earned millions of streams, including Love and Happiness, Piece of Me, and Into The Fold, with new music planned for 2025.

Sam Tallent brings the energy of a live performance to the stage. The event takes place at Orlando Improv Comedy Club in Orlando, Florida.
