For many years our name alone has confused and surprised many. Let us assure you that we are NOT a "comedy club" in the sense that we are a stand-up club or a venue for similar performances. We are a community theater with a big emphasis on the word "community"!
Generally we produce four main shows per season, which include a musical and three plays beginning in November through May as well as other special events such as the Annual Barnstable Village Stroll, staged readings, and acting and directing workshops.
As the oldest running, live community theater on Cape Cod and one of the oldest in America, we strive to bring excellence to all of our patrons, volunteers, members and to the community. We are a MA 501(3)(c) nonprofit volunteer driven organization. Dedicated volunteers work in all areas of the theater from front of the house to performers to production to our Board of Directors.

The Barnstable Comedy Club proudly presents the madcap musical, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, book by Jeffrey Lane, music and lyrics by David Yazbek. This musical comedy is directed and choreographed by Corinne Cameron with music direction by Lisa Zinck Taylor. The show opens on Thursday, November 7 at 7:30 PM and continues through November 24 with performances on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:30 PM. General admission tickets are $30 / $28 for seniors 65+ and students and may be purchased online or reserved by calling the box office at 508-362-6333.
This play contains adult themes and content; PG 13.
The cast includes veteran Cape actors Steve Ross, Rob Minshall, Anna Wimmer, Sarah Sharkey, Miriam Grey and Ian Rubinstein as well as an ensemble of talented actors including Mike Gillis, Meg Sullivan, Mary Stacey, Mary Lifshin, June Farlin, Lisa Jo Rudy, Len Solomon, Emma Anne Fahle, Meredith Richter, George Farlin, and Joe Hackler.
Based on the 1988 film starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS is laugh-out-loud funny and neither dirty, nor rotten! It’s a hysterical comedy that’s sophisticated and suave with a good dash of mischief! This quirky musical follows two con men as they compete to see who can best con a young heiress. This fiendishly upbeat musical will leave you giggling in your seat con after con. However, the payoff may not be so easy for this twisted duo.
