COMEDY
Comedian Richard Lewis of Curb Your Enthusiasm
When: November 3, 8 p.m.
Where: Patchogue Theatre, 71 East Main Street, Patchogue
What: Richard Lewis has taken his lifelong therapy fodder and carved it into a compelling art form. After all these years, Lewis remains addicted to performing before live audiences and is on a continuous Tracks of My Fears stand-up tour. His live performances are often compared to those of a jazz musician for his wild riffs that fly out into space but always find a way to float back into rhythm, as they splatter recurring themes against a spiraling, lyrical backdrop.

When: November 4, 1 p.m.
Where: Hampton Bays Public Library, 52 Ponquogue Avenue, Hampton Bays
What: Join Raymond Dowd, an attorney specializing in copyright litigation and Nazi art looting, for this presentation about art looting during the Second World War and how sales of stolen works bankrolled large parts of the Nazi war machine.
