2) Louis CK is performing on Friday, September 4, at 8:30 p.m. at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center!  This notoriously raunchy comedian has been praised by Ricky Gervais as "the funniest stand-up working", and has had his clips downloaded on YouTube over 2 million times.  Come see what all the fuss is about.  Fair warning, definitely an adults-only show!
