Comedy at Guild Hall
Eitan Levine, a comedian and writer who has appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” “The Daily Show,” “Access Hollywood,” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” will bring his comedic storytelling to Guild Hall on Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
Known for his quick wit and observational humor, Mr. Levine has performed at the Asheville Comedy Festival, the Milwaukee Comedy Fest, the Motor City Comedy Fest, the Baltimore Comedy Festival, and the New York Comedy Festival, among others. He has also written for The New York Times, New York Magazine, and Reader’s Digest, and collaborated on campaigns with Nike, Red Bull, and TruTV.
At 5 p.m., before the show, a pop-up Hanukkah will be presented by Rabbi Josh Franklin, Cantor Debra Stein, and the Jewish Center of the Hamptons in Guild Hall’s Boots Lamb Education Center.
Music at the Temple
“NYC Spirits,” a jazz concert presented with Hamptons JazzFest, will take place at Sag Harbor’s Masonic Temple Friday evening at 7. The performers are Ada Rovatti, saxophone; Jason Maximo Clotter, bass; Andrew Wagner, trumpet; Gary Fisher, piano, and Claes Brondal, the M.C., on drums.
Doors will open at 6:30, when food from Tapovana Lunch Box will be available for purchase. Concert tickets are $20.

Raised in Brooklyn in an orthodox Jewish home, Ms. Namer was married at 17 and divorced by 20, a “long story” that will be part of her set. Inspired in part by Sarah Silverman and Larry David, her comedy has been described as “funny, honest, authentic, and sarcastic” by L’Etage magazine. A regular performer in clubs around the city, she won the Ladies of Laughter Competition in 2018 and has toured with Chelsea Handler.
