The one-night-only, under-the-stars Cotuit Comedy Festival announced its lineup for July 31, 2025. It will feature seven top stand-up comedians from the Massachusetts region.

"Cape Cod’s Favorite Comedian" Jim Ruberti will host the outdoor event, which features some of his personal favorites at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, 4404 Falmouth Road, Cotuit, Mass.

Ruberti will be joined by Paul Nardizzi (NBC, Comedy Central), Barstool Sports Columnist/author/comedian Jerry Thornton, popular South Shore headliner Bob Niles,  Dave Rattigan (SiriusXM Satellite Radio, NESN), former Las Vegas regular Joni Grassey, and Cape Cod’s popular Bob Giannini.

 “This is a chance for my friends and Cape Cod visitors to see some of the funniest people alive, and a chance for some comedians that are good friends to get together and enjoy Cape Cod,” says Ruberti, a Barnstable native.

The event is co-produced by Scamps Comedy Productions and the Cotuit Center for the Arts, and will be held on the outdoor stage at the center.
