The Sticks and Stones Comedy Club will kick off a busy weekend at the Southampton Cultural Center on Friday at 7 p.m. with a stand-up show featuring Tony Deyo and Michael Regilio.

Mr. Deyo, whom The Village Voice called "one of the tightest joke writers in the business," has appeared on "Conan" and "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson."

An actor and musician as well as a comedian, Mr. Regilio is a touring comic with recurring spots at the Improv, the Comedy Store, and Gotham Comedy Club.  

Tickets are $35 and up from the comedy club's website. Doors open at 6.

The center's Rising Stars Piano Series will welcome Robin Giesbrecht and Arianna Korting on Saturday at 6 p.m. for a recital of four-hand piano pieces featuring works by Beethoven, Czerny, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Kreisler, and Gershwin.

While the couple met at the Juilliard School as solo artists, before long they were performing together in concert halls in Europe, East Asia, and throughout the United States. They became a team in life as well as onstage.

Mr. Giesbrecht’s recital performances include critically acclaimed debuts at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall and at Lincoln Center in a performance of his own piano concerto in 2015.

Ms. Korting's performances include Steinway Hall in Manhattan and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Tickets are $20 in advance from the center's website, $25 at the door, free for students under 21.

"Top Drawer," Adelaide Mestre's solo show about her return to Cuba to find her father's piano, which was left behind when the family fled the country in 1960, will be performed on Sunday afternoon at 4.

In flashbacks, she chronicles her life growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side with her mother, a thrice-married, opera-singing socialite, and her father, a gay, Cuban, manic-depressive concert pianist. In story and song, she illuminates her parents' doomed love affair, her father's struggle with his homosexuality, and his eventual suicide.

Ms. Mestre will be accompanied by Doug Oberhamer at the piano; Coco Cohn directs. Tickets are $40 in advance from the center's website or at the door, beginning at 3:15.

Two large, brightly lit vending machines dominate the space, with offerings ranging from sea salt crackers and slabs of French butter to jars of caviar and curated gift boxes — and, of course, cheese.
