Bay Street Theater will present an all-new line-up for the sixth iteration of this season’s “All Star Comedy” series set for Saturday, April 6, at 8 p.m. The series, now celebrating its 13th season, will follow previous all-but-sold-out performances this season, this time with special guest comedians including host Jamie Roberts, Oscar Aydin and Regina DeCicco.

Jamie Roberts is a name synonymous with many things including determined, focused and laugh-out-loud funny. He possesses a persona that warms up the crowd and brings down the house. Jamie has been featured on MTV, Tidal, Sirius XM Radio, The Grio, The Root, 770 WABC Radio (NYC), NBC’s Law & Order, Channel 7 ABC’s (NYC) Eyewitness, and Channel 6 ABC News (Philadelphia) commercials. He was also a cast member on FYI’s “A Question of Love,” with his then-girlfriend Nicky Sunshine starring on the show for 10 episodes. Roberts and Sunshine are now husband and wife, and they are now touring with their brand “Married and Funny.” He is also the founder and executive director of Comedy With a Purpose, a business in which he uses comedy to address some serious social matters. Jamie is also the owner of Comedy in Harlem which is New York’s new comedy club located uptown in Harlem.

Oscar Aydin is a New York City-based comedian and host known for his unfiltered “rainbow-pushing” style. He’s been featured on BBC, Daily Mail, Queerty LOL, and as a guest commentator on Amazon. He is a regular across New York City clubs and has performed alongside Nikki Glaser, Anthony Jeselnik and Andrew Shulz. He’s also featured across the United States for comedians such as Ashley Hesseltine, Hannah Berner and Jessica Kirson. On his bi-weekly podcast “Oh Oscar!” guests share their wild, crazy and sometimes awkward date and hook-up stories on the popular and hysterical segment, “Dickssappointed.”

Regina DeCicco is the warm-up comedian for ABC’s “The View,” and she recently appeared on Sherri Shepherd’s show as part of her “Laugh Lounge” segment. ABC News sent DeCicco to Philadelphia to warm up both President Joe Biden’s and President Trump’s Town Halls, and she has warmed up the audience for NBC’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting for the last three years. She has also been a guest contributor to The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM and performs regularly at The Comedy Cellar in NYC.

“All Star Comedy” has been led by comedian Joseph Vecsey since its 2010 inception. The series has been headlined by stand-up veterans and fresh faces alike and has grown to become the East End’s premier live comedy series.

Tickets are $37 and $47 in advance ($47 and $57 on the day of the show) at baystreet.org or 631-725-9500. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
