‘Ha Ha Hamptons Comedy Tour’ Returns to Bay Street Theater

Bay Street Theater presents the 2nd annual “Ha Ha Hamptons Comedy Tour” presented by Bay Street Theater’s very own comedian, producer, and promoter Paul Anthony, and produced by the Long Island Comedy Festival on Saturday, April 13, at 8 p.m. Comedians for the show include Jack Adam, Meghan Hanley, Di Cai and Paul Anthony, plus a surprise guest comedian.

The goal of the “Ha Ha Hamptons Comedy Tour” is to bring top comic talent to the theater venues they partner with. Comedy Tour shows are presented in a showcase format, featuring a larger line-up of comedians, each performing shorter sets. Comedy Tour shows feature line-ups of several headliners all on one show. In addition, the Comedy Tour also seeks to bring new comic talent to the forefront, to help expose audiences to as of yet “undiscovered” comedians. The “Ha Ha Hamptons Comedy Tour” will be presented at Bay Street Theater with three showcases this year — the first on April 13th, followed by subsequent shows on September 14 and October 26.

“We’re so pleased and excited to bring the ‘Ha Ha Hamptons Comedy Tour’ back for our second year,” said Paul Anthony. “We’re thankful to our partners at Bay Street Theater and the incredible support from the communities on the East End. Our launch of the Comedy Tour last year was one of the best tours we’ve produced to date, with all three of our inaugural performances selling out. Launching the comedy tour has taught that people need and want to laugh more, and our primary goal is to help them achieve that by bringing them top-quality comedy showcases through the comedy tour. In fact, our mantra this year is ‘Laugh More in ’24.’

“At the end of the day, we’re out to make audiences laugh, forget about their worries for just a little while, and feel good about themselves,” continued Anthony. “And that’s what keeps us motivated. It’s an incredible feeling to meet audience members after a performance and have them tell us how great they feel after laughing so hard. It is extremely rewarding, and we are very grateful to be able to do this.”

The Long Island Comedy Festival is now entering its 18th year and it is the longest-running Comedy Festival of its kind all across Long Island.

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.
