Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor hosts the Hamptons Comedy Festival. The festival is produced by Bay Street Theater’s very own Paul Anthony and the Long Island Comedy Festival with the goal of bringing top comic talent to the Hamptons.
Festival shows are presented in a “Comedy Showcase” format, featuring a 4+ performer line-up of headlining comedians, each performing short sets at each show.
This iteration of the Hamptons Comedy Festival presents two showcases this year with four performers appearing Saturday, September 23 and Saturday, October 21, both 8 PM show times. In addition, each performance will feature a surprise guest comedian.
Paul Anthony remarked, “We’re looking forward to returning to Bay Street Theater this Fall with all new line-ups of some of the best comedians working today. The ultimate goal of the Hamptons Comedy Festival is to bring more laughter and fun into people’s lives. The shows we present bring people together to share in the experience of live stand-up comedy. It’s very rewarding after one of our shows to hear from audience members telling us they haven’t laughed so hard in a very long time. When we receive that kind of positive feedback and know that we helped people forget about some of their problems for just a little while, mission accomplished!”
The September 23 event features Eric Haft, Richie Byrne, Scott Baker, and Vinnie Mark. October 21 will be Art Schill, Maria Walsh, Raanan Hershberg, and Rob Falcone.
Tickets are $35 and $45 and are available at BayStreet.org.
