The nightlife landscape of the South Fork has found its funniest footing. Operating out of the elegant MainStage Theatre inside the Southampton Cultural Center at 25 Pond Lane, Sticks and Stones Comedy Club stands as the Hamptons’ premier year-round hub for professional stand-up comedy and live performance art. Positioned directly off Agawam Park, the intimate venue fills a multi-decade void on the East End, restoring a dedicated comedy presence to a beach community that historically hosted iconic comic talent throughout the 1980s.
The powerhouse venture is steered by executive producer Abby Russell and the veteran production crew behind the long-running Hamptons Comedy Festival and Hamptons Comedy Film Festival. Leveraging deep industry connections, the club regularly imports a rotating roster of national headliners, touring comedy stars from New York City and Los Angeles, and sharp regional acts. The performance space features an immersive, tiered theater-style setup alongside a select few front-row VIP cocktail tables, ensuring an unobstructed view of the stage from any seat in the room.
Rather than offering a standard theater arrival, the club has designed each showtime into a social, multi-sensory community experience. Doors open a full hour prior to the comedy lineup, inviting ticket holders to mingle inside the cultural center’s contemporary art gallery. Guests can enjoy pre-show live music sets, specialty fresh fruit mocktails, local craft beers, East End vineyard pours, and farm-to-table small bites curated in partnership with regional favorites like Hen of The Woods and The Clubhouse.
Beyond its packed evening weekend schedules, the club fosters future comedic voices through its dedicated educational branch, The Laughing Academy. The program hosts multi-week workshops, comedy masterclasses led by industry veterans, and interactive showcases focused on joke structure, comedic timing, and stage presence. With a welcoming, inclusive neighborhood energy, the venue serves as a core destination for residents and tourists seeking an alternative evening out on the South Fork.
