SERVING UP LAUGHTER: The laughs were on tap at Meehan’s of Huntington (371 New York Ave., Huntington, 631-351-0831) April 24 when the popular pub held a night of comedy for a sell-out crowd of nearly 200. The event featured four different comedians in The Grand Oak Room at Meehan’s, beginning with the host and promoter of The Long Island Comedy Festival, Paul Anthony, who got the crowd warmed up, and handed the mike to Mick Thomas, straight off the boat from Ireland. His brogue and his old-school Irish sense of humor had the crowd in stitches. Next up was a young up-and-coming star, Joey G., who kept the crowd laughing. The third comedian of the night was featured on Comedy Central and has had a role in the popular series “The Sopranos.” Rob Falcone had everyone laughing hysterically and ended his routine with a standing ovation. It was so much fun, owner Mike Meehan said, that they are doing it again on May 29 at 8:30 p.m. with comedians Stevie GB, Chris Roach and Maureen Langan. Tickets are $20.
