‘Unmovers’ Stars at Bay Street
The All Star Comedy Show will return to Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater tomorrow at 8 p.m. with the stars of “The Unmovers,” a popular series of Optimum TV commercials and three-minute YouTube sketches. Joseph Vecsey, the comedy show’s longtime host, with Vladimir Caamano and Leonard Ouzts, take incompetence to unheard-of levels as the fictional Three Brothers Moving company, which is compared unfavorably to Optimum’s efficient “cable guys.”
While no live “Unmovers” sketches are planned for the program, the videos will be played “as a kind of pre-show,” according to Mr. Vecsey. “Otherwise, the show will be straight stand-up.”
Mr. Caamano’s comedy reflects his roots in an immigrant Dominican family living in New York City. He developed his gritty wit in the Bronx and Washington Heights after making the move from Wesleyan University into stand-up.
Mr. Ouzts, a native of South Carolina, draws on growing up in the South and centers his act on family, current events, and “the things he notices while walking down the street.” He first hit local stages in 2001 and has since then expanded his range nationwide.
While Mr. Vecsey, too, is a regular on the comedy circuit, he also writes, acts, and hosts “The Call Back Podcast,” which features discussions with successful entertainers about the craft and business of comedy. Last year he was a writer for “The Do-Over,” a Happy Madison film starring Adam Sandler and David Spade, due for release this summer.
Considering the comedic talent on view in “The Unmovers,” the Bay Street audience can expect a laugh-filled evening for the ticket price of $25.
