MARSHFIELD —

Max Clary likes to be on stage, talk to people and make them laugh.

Last summer, the 15-year-old from Newton commuted to Camp Chuckles, a comedy camp at the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield.

Now the Newton South High School sophomore is a regular performer at the Comedy Studio in Cambridge.

He is returning to Marshfield to perform with his comedy camp instructors in the Boys & Girls Club’s third annual “Comedy Night.”

“It’s a great program,” Max said. “It turned out at the end to be a great thing.”

The event, at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Venus II in Brant Rock, is a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club. More than 200 people attended last year’s event, which raised $4,500 for the nonprofit club.

Max will appear along with his camp instructors, Chrissie Kelleher and Jimmy Bowes, as well as Ed Kopesky, Johnny Cullen, Dan Boulger and Rich Gustus.

“Max was one of our most promising campers,” said Kelleher, the emcee for the event. “We’re like, ‘This kid is totally ready to do comedy.’ He was like a 15-year-old Billy Crystal.”

Kelleher has opened shows for Kevin Nealon and Loretta LaRoche and appeared on Nickelodeon’s “America’s Funniest Mom” show.

Cullen was a finalist at the Rhode Island Comedy Festival. Kopesky is a Boston comedian who also appears regularly at the Comedy Studio.

Boulger was winner in the 2006 Boston Comedy Festival. Gustus appears on Comedy Central.

Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at the door. They can be purchased online at www.boysandgirlsclubofmarshfield.com or at the club in Library Plaza.
