They say laughter is the best medicine, so get ready to crack up because you’ve got four chances to fend off any “ailments” with humor.

The first is Bay Street Theater’s All Star Comedy Show (1 Bay Street, 631-725-9500, www.baystreet.org) on Friday, April 1st at 8 p.m. Once again Joseph Vecsey (Optimum’s The UnMovers, The Call Back Podcast) will return to host the hilarious affair that includes stand up by Nore Davis (Comedy Central, Inside Amy Schumer), Neko White (MTV) and Kase Raso (Comedy Clubs and Colleges).

The East Quogue Fire Department (465 Montauk Highway, East Quogue, 631-653-5101, www.eqfiredepartment.org) is presenting their 5th annual Comedy Night fundraiser on Saturday, April 2nd. The evening will include dinner, refreshments, and lots of laughs. The show, which “keeps getting better and better,” will evoke a range of feelings. “I laughed, I cried… I had all the emotions,” said one audience member. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40.
