Think You're Funny? These Stand-Up Graduates Do

Bay Street Theater will present “Think You’re Funny?” a stand-up comedy class graduation show on Tuesday, November 26, at 8 p.m.

The show returns to Bay Street for its second year with an all-new line-up of hilarious, aspiring comedians. The Comedy Class, now in its sophomore year at Bay Street Theater, has quickly become one of the theater’s most popular educational programs.

“Our ‘Think You’re Funny?’ comedy class is a six-week intensive,” explained comedian Paul Anthony, who teaches the class. “Our students learn the ins and outs of stand-up comedy, we help them develop a 5-minute stand-up set, and the best part is they get to perform their comedy material live in front of an audience on stage at Bay Street Theater during the hilarious graduation show.”

“Trying stand-up comedy is one of the top items on people’s bucket lists, regardless of age. It’s true. Ask any of your friends, and they’ll tell you,” said Anthony. “Most people watch stand-up comedy on TV or see a live performance, thinking, ‘I could do that!’ Well, our comedy class helps them prove that they can. After six weeks, our comedians are ready to take the stage and bring the funny. We’re very pleased to partner with Bay Street on this exciting and fun project. We’re really looking forward to the graduation show. People need to laugh more, and we will help them achieve that.”

The performance will feature 11 new comedians on the Bay Street Theater stage, including, in alphabetical order, Catherine Bromberg, Kieran Brew, Gordon Ebanks, Lynne Goldberg, Dan Hayes, Ruby Jackson, Steve Reiner, Emily Sklar, Cynthia Wells, Talia Wenban and Kristin Whiting. The show will be hosted by Paul Anthony and will feature a yet-to-be-announced national headliner on hand to close out the show.

Tickets are $25 at baystreet.org or 631-725-9500. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
