Writing a weekly TV show for a famous comic in the 1950’s is anything but easy. Inspired by Neil Simon’s experience as a staff writer on Sid Caesar’s Your Show Of Shows, this comedy will have you rolling in the aisles as the harried writing staff frantically scrambles to top each other while competing for the attention of star madman Max Prince.
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.
Whatever your talent or preference, we have a place for you!
BOX OFFICE: Training necessary and you get to see the show for FREE!
HOSPITALITY: Smiling faces needed to pass out Playbills and help at the concession stand and you get to see the show for FREE!
ALL PRODUCTION TEAM MEMBERS: Help work on sets, costumes, props, backstage, lighting and sound and you get to see the show for FREE!
Volunteers provide vital support for the Barnstable Comedy Club. Our volunteers assist with the multitude of tasks required to bring a production to life. Every scene, every line, every emotion on stage is backed by this group of amazing volunteers. This is an excellent opportunity to gain real world knowledge of theater operations as well as donate valuable time to the local theater community. And besides all of that, you’ll get to work with a great group of people and have a lot of fun!

Passion, blackmail and revenge combine into a breathtaking, edge-of-your-seat murder mystery.
