Getting Funny At Bay Street

Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will offer two evenings of side-splitting stand-up comedy on Saturday, September 17, and Saturday, September 24. On September 17 at 8 p.m., New York comedian Joseph Vecsey returns with an all new lineup of All Star Comedy. Then, on September 24, at 8 p.m. Long Island Comedy Festival comes to Bay Street featuring a full line-up of top comedians from Long Island, the New York City Comedy Scene and beyond.

All Star Comedy has been appearing at Bay Street Theater for 13 seasons. The September 17 evening is hosted by comedian Marion Grodin, and features Anthony DeVito and Greg Stone. Since its inception, the series has been headlined by stand-up veterans and fresh faces alike, growing to become the East End’s premiere live comedy series.

For the last decade, Marion Grodin has been one of the hottest comics in the country. She is a favorite at New York City’s top clubs, including Standup NY and Gotham Comedy Club, where she regularly headlines. As one of the country’s top emcees, Grodin’s ability to improvise has allowed her to master the art of talking with the audience. Always willing to be as self-revealing as she is probing of the audience, this affectionately edgy style has become her trademark. The result is a hilariously personal show that makes the audience feel like it was custom-made just for them.

The 16th annual Long Island Comedy Festival is coming to Sag Harbor on September 24. With festival performances scheduled across the island, comedians including Marla Schultz, a national headliner who has performed at top venues around the country and beyond, and John Ziegler, who won the Funniest Comic on the East Coast contest in 2016 at Mohegan Sun, will be making the Bay Street stop.

Tickets for both shows are on sale now, starting at $35 at baystreet.org or 725-9500. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
