The Hamptons Comedy Film Festival presents an ongoing, highly curated showcase for the best in comedy -- shorts, features, tv pilots, web series, filmed sketch comedy and animation -- for our Hamptons audiences, often filled with entertainment industry. We allow for rolling submissions and present our selected films at our beautiful comedy club theatre at Sticks and Stones Comedy Club. Hamptons Comedy Festival was first established in 2000 and sponsored by HBO. Many comedians performed in the Hamptons, including Ed Helms, Judy Gold and Joy Behar. The NY Friars Club presented a comedy award here, in honor of Soupy Sales. The HCF presented the Hamptons Comedy Film Festival, showing shorts and features - including Sarah Silverman's earliest film Who's the Caboose? directed by Sam Seder. After many consecutive years of the HBO Hamptons Comedy Festival, the festival organizers moved to LA and began producing live comedy with performers like Marc Maron and Maria Bamford at venues like UCB. Now, the Hamptons Comedy Festival is presenting live comedy and screening selected comedy shorts and features each week at Sticks and Stones Comedy Club theatre in Southampton, NY.
