Abby Russell's Sticks & Stones Comedy Club in Southampton will present “The Hamptons' Best Comedy Show With Rob White & Comedy All Stars” every Wednesday until the end of August.
Doors open at 7:30pm. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
When asked about the essence of his comedy, White explained that it's a fast-paced, high-energy comic that focuses on observations about the craziness of life. He also talks about his upbringing, saying: “I grew up in the unique environment of having a tattoo artist father who got me into tattooing at 13, a career I still do, as well as comedy.”

His comic heroes are more interesting. “I'm a big fan of comics like Doug Stanhope, Lenny Bruce, Denis Leary as well as the classic dressing of guys like Jackie Gleason and Lou Costello,” he said.
It's hard to do stand-up comedy, White said.

But, he said, “When you get it right and the audience is in the palm of your hand, it's magical. It's like being a magician and making the audience laugh at your command. It's so high that you can” I can't put it any other way .
When the subject turned to Abby Russell's “Sticks & Stones Comedy Club,” White said, “Sticks and Stones” is a great club and it was a great place for them to play. They truly understand and love standup comedy, which has allowed me and other comics to be extremely comfortable and explore our craft Performing at Sticks and Stones has given me the freedom and confidence that continues to make me a better comic.
White is from Selden and has lived there all his life except for six months in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She currently owns a home in Shelden because, “it's great to live in the middle of the island with easy access to the Hamptons and New York.”
