From the islands to the stage, Plantain & Punchlines brings Caribbean Heritage Month to life through laughter!

Join Thyme & Again Comedy for a high-energy night featuring comedians with roots in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and beyond. With talent seen on HBO, Netflix, Fox, and more, this lineup delivers sharp jokes, authentic stories, and the kind of crowd energy that feels like a family gathering, just funnier.

Inspired by the plantain, a beloved staple shared across Caribbean cultures, this show celebrates the traditions, experiences, and connections that unite the diaspora while highlighting what makes each island unique.

Whether you're repping your flag (we encourage you to do so), exploring your roots, or simply looking for a great night of comedy, Plantain & Punchlines is where culture, community, and comedy come together. One night. Plenty of laughs. Island vibes included.
