Since earning Creative Loafing's Best Up-And-Coming Stand-Up Comedian award back in 2015, Rio Paris has come a long way. Actually, he's gone a long way: More than 1,000 miles to New York City, where he's continuing his career. Now he's back for a run of shows at Snappers Grill & Comedy Club in Palm Harbor this weekend. CL caught up with Paris to ask him about comedy, battle rapping, his creative projects, and missing his family.
