There were laughs in Sayville on Monday night at Popei's Clam Bar at the dinner and comedy show as more than 65 guests filled the catering room to hear the stand-up routines.

This is the third comedy night held at the restaurant and all have been a success, said Joe Reale, owner of Popei's. "These comedy shows seem to get a really nice turnout, especially for a Monday evening. It's definitely good to see this many people out here on a weeknight. Since adding the catering room, we have done many different events to draw in a crowd. We're doing a party on Halloween Eve with the band Uppercut."

For $35 per person, attendees had dinner, a drink and the stand-up comedy show. "We started to get worried last week when we didn't have a lot of reservations," said Laura Lang, manager of Popei's. "However, within the last week we received an excellent response and the turnout was great. We even had people coming in today to try and get a spot."

Alan Streisfeld, who runs Wilshire Comedy Group, set up the event with the restaurant and runs events like this all over Long Island. "I know the comedians in my group just from being in the industry," Streisfeld said. "I pick the comedians for each venue based on the crowd."

The routine at Popei's featured popular comedians who perform in many of the local clubs. The show started with Ken Krinsky, who did a Rodney Dangerfield tribute. Krinksy was followed by Stacey Prussman, who has also appeared at local clubs and on the Howard Stern Show. Headlining and closing out the event was Bayport native comedian and former Saturday Night Live writer Tim Homayoon.
