SUMMARY:UNITED We Laugh (August 2026)
DESCRIPTION:UNITED We Laugh (August 2026) brings another night of stand-up comedy to the UNITED Theatre in downtown Westerly on Friday\, August 14\, with Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Famer Ace Aceto headlining a five-comic lineup. The monthly series draws performers from across New England and the Northeast\, giving audiences a rotating comedy club-style show without leaving Westerly. \nAugust’s lineup features headliner Ace Aceto\, along with Dan Altano\, Emily Siero\, RA Bartlett\, and host Tad Flynn. With several comedians sharing the bill\, the format gives each performer a chance to bring a different voice and style to the stage rather than stretching one act across an entire evening. \nThis month’s headliner also has deep Rhode Island roots. Aceto began performing stand-up in Providence in 1989 and has spent more than three decades working comedy clubs\, colleges\, casinos\, corporate events and theaters throughout the Northeast. In 2016\, he was inducted into the Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame. (Ace Aceto Comedy) \nAugust Comedy Lineup\nThe August edition of UNITED We Laugh features: \nAce Aceto – Headliner\nDan Altano\nEmily Siero\nRA Bartlett\nTad Flynn – Host \nThe rotating lineup is part of the appeal of UNITED We Laugh. Each month’s show brings together comedians from a regional talent pool stretching from New Jersey through Boston. \nAbout Ace Aceto\nRhode Island native Ace Aceto got his start at Providence’s Periwinkles Comedy Club in 1989\, entering the business during the stand-up boom that produced a generation of New England comics. A year later\, he was among 10 finalists selected to be filmed for programming associated with what was then The Comedy Channel\, which became Comedy Central. (Pyramidentertainment.com) \nMore than 30 years later\, Aceto remains a fixture of the New England comedy circuit. His act combines observational humor\, quick wit and impressions\, a skill he’s been developing since childhood. His Italian-Catholic upbringing and everyday experiences provide plenty of additional material. (Ace Aceto Comedy) \nAceto has appeared frequently on WPRI’s The Rhode Show and WPRO radio and has performed at clubs\, colleges\, fundraisers and corporate events throughout the Northeast. His longevity in the state’s comedy scene was recognized in 2016 when he was inducted into the Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame. (Funny4Funds) \nHe’s also a comedy producer. Aceto created the Royal Flush Comedy Show\, a multi-comic showcase that ran regularly for four years at Newport Grand Casino before expanding to other venues around the Northeast. (Ace Aceto Comedy) \nAce Aceto official website \nA Monthly Night of Stand-Up\nUNITED We Laugh isn’t tied to a single touring comedian. Instead\, the series operates as a recurring showcase\, bringing several performers together for each edition. \nThat makes it a good entry point for people who enjoy stand-up but may not already know every name on the bill. One ticket provides several different comedic styles and a chance to discover performers working throughout the Northeast. \nEvent Details\nDate\nFriday\, August 14\, 2026 \nTime\n7:00 p.m. \nLocation\nUNITED Theatre \nAddress\n5 Canal Street\nWesterly\, RI \nAdmission\n$20 \nAge Restrictions\n18+ \nImportant Notes\nUNITED We Laugh features a rotating lineup of stand-up comedians.

SUMMARY:Nikki Glaser: The Stunning Tour at Foxwoods
DESCRIPTION:  \nNikki Glaser: The Stunning Tour at Foxwoods brings one of the biggest names in stand-up comedy to the Premier Theater for two nights\, Friday\, August 14\, and Saturday\, August 15. Glaser arrives at Mashantucket during a remarkable stretch in her career\, following acclaimed comedy specials\, a headline-making performance at Netflix’s Tom Brady roast\, and two consecutive turns hosting the Golden Globe Awards. (Foxwoods) \nGlaser’s comedy is unapologetically adult and unusually candid. Sex\, relationships\, aging\, insecurity\, and the uncomfortable things people normally keep to themselves are all fair game. Rather than hiding her own embarrassing thoughts from the audience\, she tends to put them under a spotlight\, dissect them and find the punchline. \nThe Foxwoods stop offers two chances to catch The Stunning Tour; there are still many tickets available in the mezzanine for Friday’s show\, and more tickets are available in all sections for Saturday’s performance. The Premier Theater’s tiered layout also makes those upper-level seats a practical option for fans who don’t need to be close to the stage to enjoy a stand-up show. \nAbout Nikki Glaser\nNikki Glaser has been performing stand-up for nearly two decades\, but the past few years have pushed her into another level of mainstream recognition. \nHer 2024 HBO special Someday You’ll Die became the largest streaming audience for a comedy special in HBO Max/Max history at the time and earned Glaser Emmy\, Grammy\, Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations. She also won a Writers Guild Award for the special. \nThen came Netflix’s The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady. Glaser’s performance became one of the most talked-about sets of the night\, introducing her razor-sharp roast comedy to an enormous new audience. \nIn January 2025\, she made history as the first woman to host the Golden Globe Awards solo. She returned to host the ceremony in 2026 and has already been tapped for a third consecutive appearance in 2027. (Golden Globes) \nHer television résumé also includes FBOY Island\, Not Safe with Nikki Glaser\, Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?\, The Masked Singer and numerous Comedy Central roasts. She made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in November 2025. \nWhat to Expect from The Stunning Tour\nGlaser’s stand-up isn’t for audiences looking for sanitized observational comedy. Her style is blunt\, personal and frequently explicit\, with much of the humor coming from saying the things people may think but rarely admit aloud. \nRelationships\, sex\, body image\, getting older and her own insecurities have long supplied material for her stand-up. That willingness to make herself the subject of the joke is a large part of what separates her act from straightforward insult comedy. \nThe Foxwoods performances are restricted to audiences 18 and older. \nTwo Nights at Foxwoods\nGlaser performs at the Premier Theater on both Friday and Saturday night\, giving fans two opportunities to see The Stunning Tour. \nFriday\, August 14\n7:30 p.m. \nSaturday\, August 15\n7:00 p.m. \nNote that the Saturday performance begins 30 minutes earlier than Friday’s show. Foxwoods currently lists both performances on its official event page. \nBefore You Go\nFoxwoods recommends The Fox Tower as the best parking area for Premier Theater events. \nShopping bags and backpacks aren’t permitted inside the theater\, and all permitted bags are subject to search. Giving yourself some extra time before the performance is also worthwhile\, particularly if you’re unfamiliar with the size and layout of the Foxwoods complex. \nEvent Details\nDates\nFriday\, August 14\, 2026\nSaturday\, August 15\, 2026 \nFriday Show\n7:30 p.m. \nSaturday Show\n7:00 p.m. \nLocation\nPremier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino \nAddress\n39 Norwich Westerly Road\nMashantucket\, CT \nTicketing\nTicket prices vary by seating section and availability: \n\nFriday Ticketing\nSaturday Ticketing\n\nAge Restrictions\n18+ \nParking\nThe Fox Tower is the recommended parking location for the Premier Theater. \nImportant Notes\nNo shopping bags or backpacks are permitted.
