RIVERHEAD, NY – The downtown Suffolk Theater is set for a big night of laughter this November 26, when the Long Island Comedy Festival comes to town. With showtime scheduled for 8:00 p.m., this one-night “Thanksgiving Eve Comedy Extravaganza” promises a stacked set of comics, ranging from nationally-recognized headliners to a familiar local host.

Leading the lineup is Maria Walsh, billed as “America’s Naughtiest Mommy” and a Las Vegas headliner, followed by John Santo – a master impressionist performing under the banner of Mohegan Sun. Robust national talent continues with Rob Falcone (credits on Showtime and HBO) and Chris Monty (known through Drybar Comedy and Catskills circuits). Local favorite Paul Anthony will anchor the evening as emcee.

Audience members will pay a listed price of $49 per ticket for this special event. The venue emphasizes that while ticket-buyers secure a table, exact seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis upon arrival. Also important: all ticket sales are final.

Show organizers position this as the must-see comedy event of the early holiday season, encouraging attendees to bring friends and get into the festive mood. With downtown Riverhead’s dining scene nearby, the timing works for a full night out: arrive early, have dinner, settle in for the laughs, and walk back to your car after a fun, high-energy evening.
