Comedy at Bay Street

Joseph Vecsey’s All Star Comedy returns to Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater on Saturday at 8 p.m. with sets by Tom Cassidy, Linette Palladino, and Sergio Chicon.

Mr. Cassidy’s debut stand-up album “Funnymatic” reached #1 on iTunes, and his special “Life After Funny” and new 20-minute set called “RAV4” are both on YouTube. Ms. Palladino was a finalist in the HBO Latino Stand-Up Competition and winner of Jersey’s Funniest Female at the Eagle Theatre in Hammonton, N.J. Mr. Chicon has been featured on MTV, Comedy Central, and AXS-TV’s “Live at Gotham,” and has performed at clubs and theaters across the country.

Tickets are $42 to $54. Doors and the full bar open at 7.

On Garden Tours

The next round-table discussion of the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons, set for Saturday at 10 a.m., will focus on what participants have learned from the past season’s garden tours and their own gardens.

The alliance members visited 16 gardens this year, some on grand properties, others in smaller spaces, and, of course, tended their own. A slideshow will feature highlights from some of the tours. Discussion about members’ experiences will follow, and questions will be entertained.

The program is free to all.

News From HTC

The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue has announced that subscriptions are now available for the 2025-2026 season. The season will kick off on Oct. 16 with “The Thanksgiving Play,” a contemporary comedy by Larissa FastHorse, a Native American playwright and choreographer.

“I Do! I Do!,” a two-character Tony Award-winning musical by the creators of “The Fantasticks,” will open in March, and “The 39 Steps,” an award-winning comedy inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller, will conclude the season in May.

Subscriptions to all three productions are $110 and entitle subscribers to priority seating and savings over single-ticket prices.

Radical Environments

The Long Island Modern lecture series at East Hampton’s LongHouse Reserve will take on the subject of radical environments of the psychedelic ’60s and ’70s on Sunday afternoon at 3.

Alastair Gordon, an award-winning writer, critic, cultural historian, and filmmaker, will start his talk with Charles Forberg, the architect of LongHouse and the designer of the womblike interior of the Electric Circus in Manhattan’s East Village, where the Velvet Underground performed beneath swirling light projections.

From there, Mr. Gordon, the author of “Spaced Out: Radical Environments of the Psychedelic Sixties,” will talk about crash pads, sensoriums, head shops, yurts, geodesic domes, and communes, environments that reflected the freewheeling energy of the period.

Tickets are $35, $25 for members.
