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.

SUMMARY:Matt Rife: Stay Golden Tour
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve spent any time online lately\, you’ve probably come across Matt Rife… and there’s a reason his clips keep blowing up. He’s quick\, sharp\, and leans heavily into crowd work that feels spontaneous in a way most stand-up doesn’t. On the *Stay Golden Tour*\, that energy carries over live\, where no two shows really play out the same. One minute he’s riffing with someone in the front row\, the next he’s spinning it into a bit that pulls the whole room in. \nWhat makes his style hit is that mix of confidence and unpredictability. He’ll jump between observational jokes\, personal stories\, and off-the-cuff moments without it feeling forced. It’s fast-paced\, a little chaotic in the best way\, and very tuned in to the audience… like the show is being built in real time instead of just delivered. That’s a big part of why people keep coming back\, because you’re not just hearing jokes\, you’re part of how the night unfolds. \nLive\, it turns into something closer to an experience than a standard set. The laughs come quick\, but there’s also that underlying tension of not knowing where he’s going to go next or who he’s going to pull into the moment. If you’re into comedy that feels raw\, reactive\, and fully in the moment\, the *Stay Golden Tour* is one of those shows where you just settle in and let it play out.

SUMMARY:Gabriel Iglesias
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever seen Gabriel Iglesias live… You already know it’s not just stand-up\, it’s an experience. His current tour keeps that same high-energy\, storytelling style that made him a fan favorite\, mixing personal stories\, voices\, and those perfectly timed sound effects that somehow turn simple moments into full-blown scenes. It’s fast\, it’s animated\, and it feels like he’s pulling you into his world instead of just performing at you. \nWhat makes his shows hit is how approachable everything feels. He’ll jump from family stories to everyday frustrations to those random observations that shouldn’t be funny… but are. And then he’ll layer in the characters\, the voices\, the little details that build each bit into something bigger. You’re not just listening to jokes… you’re watching them play out. That’s where the laughs really start stacking up. \nLive\, it turns into a full-room kind of energy. Big reactions\, constant laughs\, and that feeling that the entire crowd is in sync with him. He knows how to ride that momentum too… stretching moments\, playing off reactions\, letting the night breathe a little. If you’re looking for comedy that’s lively\, visual\, and built for a crowd\, his tour delivers that in a way that feels effortless but hits every time.

SUMMARY:The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short
DESCRIPTION:There’s something kind of rare about watching two comedy legends who genuinely enjoy messing with each other… and that’s exactly what you get with *The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short* tour. It’s not just stand-up\, and it’s not quite a traditional show either… it lands somewhere in between\, blending sharp jokes\, playful jabs\, and decades of shared history into something that feels loose but incredibly dialed in. From the moment they step on stage\, the tone is set: this is going to be fast\, funny\, and just a little unpredictable. \nWhat makes it hit is the chemistry. Steve Martin and Martin Short don’t just perform side by side… they bounce off each other constantly\, trading insults\, building bits together\, and stretching moments in ways that feel spontaneous even when the timing is razor sharp. The show moves quickly between stand-up\, sketches\, and even music\, with Martin bringing out his banjo and Short slipping into some of his classic characters. It keeps shifting just enough that you never quite settle into one rhythm… in a good way. \nLive\, it feels more like a shared night than a scripted performance. Some parts are polished\, others feel like they could go off in any direction depending on the crowd or the moment. That mix of structure and freedom is what makes it work… you’re watching two masters who know exactly what they’re doing\, but still leave room for surprise. If you’re into comedy that’s smart\, playful\, and built on timing and personality instead of shock value\, this tour delivers in a way that’s both nostalgic and completely alive.

SUMMARY:Kathleen Madigan
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wanted a night of comedy that feels like you’re sitting in a bar listening to someone who’s seen *everything* and somehow made it funny… that’s what you get with Kathleen Madigan. She’s been doing this for decades\, and it shows in the best way. No flash\, no gimmicks… just sharp storytelling\, dry delivery\, and that perfectly timed punchline that sneaks up on you a half-second late and hits even harder because of it. \nOn her current tour\, she leans into what she does best… observational comedy that feels grounded and real. She’ll move through topics like family\, travel\, everyday frustrations\, and the weird little contradictions in how people live\, all with that laid-back\, almost conversational tone. It doesn’t feel like she’s performing *at* you… it feels like she’s talking *with* you\, just funnier than anyone you actually know. \nLive\, the rhythm is what pulls you in. The laughs don’t come from big setups or shock moments… they build. One story rolls into the next\, callbacks land when you’re not expecting them\, and suddenly you realize you’ve been laughing steadily the entire time. It’s smart\, it’s effortless\, and it’s the kind of show that doesn’t need to be loud to fill a room. If you’re into comedy that’s sharp without being showy\, this tour hits that sweet spot and just stays there.

SUMMARY:John Mulaney
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain precision to John Mulaney that you don’t see everywhere… like every joke has been shaped\, trimmed\, and placed exactly where it needs to be. His comedy leans heavily on storytelling\, but not in a loose way. It’s structured\, almost surgical\, with setups that feel casual and punchlines that land clean and sharp. He’ll take something small… a childhood memory\, a strange interaction\, a random thought… and build it into something that keeps unfolding as it goes. \nA lot of people first knew him from his writing days at Saturday Night Live\, and you can feel that background in how tight everything is. The rhythm\, the pacing\, the way he layers callbacks… it all adds up. But what really separates him is the tone. There’s this mix of confidence and self-awareness that lets him go deep into personal territory without losing the humor. It’s thoughtful without feeling heavy\, and polished without feeling stiff. \nLive\, that control really stands out. The stories stretch just enough to pull you in\, and then snap back right when they need to. The crowd stays with him the whole time… not because he’s forcing laughs\, but because the structure carries you there. If you’re into comedy that’s smart\, deliberate\, and built on storytelling that actually goes somewhere\, seeing John Mulaney live is one of those experiences that quietly delivers exactly what you’re hoping for.

SUMMARY:JoKoy
DESCRIPTION:There’s a kind of energy Jo Koy brings that hits the room almost immediately… loud\, warm\, and completely locked in with the crowd. Jo Koy has built his style around storytelling that feels personal but somehow universal\, pulling from family life\, culture\, and those everyday moments that don’t seem funny until he breaks them open. His delivery is big\, expressive\, and physical… the kind that turns a simple story into something you can almost see playing out in front of you. \nA lot of his material centers on his Filipino background and his relationship with his mom\, and those bits have become a signature part of his act. The voices\, the impressions\, the pacing… it all builds into something that feels both specific and widely relatable at the same time. He’ll bounce between characters\, shift tone mid-story\, and stretch moments just enough to keep the laughs rolling without losing the thread. \nLive\, it turns into a full-room experience pretty fast. The crowd gets involved\, the reactions get bigger\, and he knows exactly how to ride that wave. Some parts feel polished\, others feel like they could veer in a new direction depending on the moment… and that’s what keeps it fresh. If you’re looking for comedy that’s high-energy\, story-driven\, and built to connect with a crowd\, Jo Koy’s shows deliver that in a way that sticks with you long after it’s over.
