Laughs and Ooh La Las
Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will present a new All Star Comedy show, hosted by Joseph Vecsey, tomorrow at 8 p.m. Mr. Vecsey, a stand-up veteran, continues to turn up on television and YouTube as one of the UnMovers in new spots for Optimum Cable TV. He also hosts “The Call Back,” a podcast that features interviews with noted comedians.
His three guests are Ken Krantz, who has his own show at Gotham Comedy Club and has been featured on SiriusXM radio; Gary Vider, who first hit the New York comedy circuit when he was fired from his receptionist job, and Billy Prinsell, a regular at Caroline’s on Broadway and one of Comedy Central’s top comics to watch in 2015. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 the day of the show.
On Saturday, the musician Alfredo Merat will channel the spirit of Jacques Brel, the Belgian singer, songwriter, and actor, in “Brel by Alfredo.”
Brel died in 1978, and this performance coincides with the 50-year anniversary of his farewell concerts at the Olympia Theater in Paris, part of the acclaimed artist’s long goodbye from live performances.
Mr. Merat, a popular performer of Latin music on the South Fork who lives in Springs, was born in Madrid and grew up in France. In a 90-minute performance, he will sing in French and speak about Mr. Brel’s life in English.
Tickets for “Brel by Alfredo” are $25 and are available at the Bay Street box office or at baystreet.org.
