Now in its 13th season, Joseph Vecsey’s All Star Comedy series will bring an all-new lineup of comedians to Bay Street Theater on Saturday at 8 p.m.

Anecdotes and observations from Chase Abel, who was born to Eritrean parents, are delivered through the lens of an Eritrean-American immigrant. Mr. Abel is a regular performer at Nick’s Comedy Stop in Boston and the Comedy Connection in East Providence, R.I.

Erica Spera is a Los Angeles-based comedian and writer originally from Binghamton, N.Y. She has been featured on “The Late Late Show With James Corden” and “Don’t Tell Comedy,” and hosts the podcasts “Shooters Gotta Shoot” and “Finding Mr. Height.”

Dino Vigo’s comedic outlook is influenced by his mixed-race background, a blend of Black-Latino and Russian-Jewish cultures. Based in Harlem, he has taken his stand-up to comedy clubs, college and university events, corporate functions, and cruise lines.

Tickets are $37 and $47 in advance, $47 and $57 the day of the show.

Also on Saturday, Bay Street will host an On-Camera Commercial Workshop for adults 18 and up, led by SJ Allocco-St. Germain, a casting director, from 10 a.m. until noon. The class will take participants through the various steps of auditioning for on-camera commercials and will culminate in a mock audition. The cost is $100.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
