Bobby Collins returns to the Comedy Club on Monday, July 14, after his sold out show at Bay Street last year. Known for his comedy on VH-1’s “Stand Up Spotlight,” Collins is described as the funniest man in the year, and he performs in his own shows 200 times per year. Collins followed an interesting career path to end up at his current position in comedy. While working in the fashion industry, he found himself as the vice president of Calvin Klein, but left to chase his dreams performing standup. The decision ended up paying off, as Collins has worked along side comedic giants like Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.
Bob Marley is set to humor his audience on Monday, August 11. The Maine native is known for his award-winning call in radio segment, “The World According to Bob,” which is broadcasted nationally. Marley is one of the first comics to have made the full late night circuit appearing on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.”
Robert Klein returns to the comedy club on Monday, August 18. A Bay Street favorite, Klein has sold out the Sag Harbor theater for several of his previous Hamptons performances. The Grammy and Tony Award-winning comedian has entertained audiences and maintained an acclaimed comedic career for over forty years.
