COMEDY NIGHTS
NOVEMBER 28 & 29 / June 12 & 13, 2026
Stamford's favorite funny man, Michael "Motts" Pelazza, is back blending his own style of observational storytelling and comedy with terrific timing and improv skills. Each night Motts brings in terrific headliners to join him in the Dressing Room Theatre. (These comedy nights are not recommended for those under 16 or those who are easily offended.)
8pm each night. Doors open at 7:00pm with a BYOEverything format.
Motts Pelazza has been performing comedy throughout the country for the last 45 years. He has opened for Damon Wayans, Billy Gardell, Tommy Davidson, Kevin Meaney, and Patrice O’Neil. He has performed at Carolines and Don’t Tell Mamas in NYC, the Palace Theatre in Stamford, CT, and the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts. Motts has also been on "Impractical Jokers" and, as a lifelong resident of Stamford, and a retired mailman of 46 years, like he delivered the mail all those years, he promises to deliver the laughs!

Every year for nearly 20 years, Frank Mastrone has performed his concert in The Kweskin Theatre, bringing his 30+ years of professional experience performing on Broadway.

Cats as “Gus: The Theatre Cat.” When he returned, he was cast in the original company of
The Phantom of the Opera, in which he has performed more than 4,000 times over 25 years. He was on Broadway in
Les Miserables as Jean Valjean, in
Jekyll and Hyde in the title role, in the stage version of
Saturday Night Fever as Mr. Fusco, and “the paint store guy” in
