Year in ReView: Vanyaland’s 12 months of comedy faves in 2025

Jason Greenough — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:16:18 +0000

Another year, another hell ride through a cultural landscape that devoured and reproduced at an alarming rate in 2025. Through all the “unprecedented times” that we’re all tired of living in, to the birth of “6-7!” (whatever the fuck that means), and everything in between, one constant that kept us afloat was the levity, and often times societal mirror check that comedy offered to the masses. With a little bit of everything for everyone, the world of stand-up was stretched, […]

Comics Come Home 29 closes out another decade with a bang

Jason Greenough — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:30:57 +0000

When an annual event like Comics Come Home delivers fresh and dazzling surprises on the regular, the added bombast just continues to celebrate the show’s still growing legacy. However, after 29 years at the forefront of nationally-recognized comedy fundraisers, it’s the mix of the cool, the new, and the tried and true that helped to celebrate what the show has accomplished over the course of nearly three full decades — and boy, did they let the good times roll this […]

Mic’d Up: Comics Come Home 29 returns for a roarin’ good time

Jason Greenough — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 19:21:29 +0000

‘Tis the season to be jolly and philanthropic, and by the hands of Denis Leary, Cam Neely and a revolving door crew of comedy assassins, it’s also the time of year to laugh so loud that the Zakim shakes a little bit. While the Bruins and Celtics have started off on a bit of a slow foot, the lights will surely shine bright when Leary and co. occupy TD Garden on Saturday (November 8) as they bring Comics Come Home […]

Sarah Silverman doubles down with a second show at The Wilbur

Jason Greenough — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 18:11:11 +0000

Seeing your favorite comedian roll through town is a special thing, especially if it’s just for one night. Sometimes, though, “twice as nice” is the way to go, and in addition to a few fresh faces, we’ve got plenty of re-upped fun coming down the pike around the area, including Sarah Silverman. Adding on to her already sold-out show at The Wilbur on January 25, Silverman has added another chance to check out her new hour in the Theatre District […]

Grief can be a weird thing, but Sarah Silverman is choosing to bring laughs after death with her new show, and she’s coming back home to New England to share in the experience with us. As announced earlier this week, the stand-up legend and New Hampshire native will be bringing her Postmortem tour to Massachusetts for two nights between Medford’s Chevalier Theatre (January 24) and The Wilbur (January 25) for a little bit of winter comedy therapy.

John Mulaney’s ‘Everybody’s in L.A.’ was a breath of late-night fresh air

Jason Greenough — Wed, 15 May 2024 12:18:06 +0000

For anyone who tuned in to the number of live-streamed events coming from the Netflix Is A Joke Fest in Los Angeles over the last few weeks, there were quite a few sights to behold. But let’s be honest, nothing proved to be as close to “masterpiece” status as John Mulaney’s fever dream incarnation of a late-night talk show. Between May 2 and 12, there was quite an array of laughs for everyone’s tastes brought to the masses from Tinseltown […]

Year in ReView: Vanyaland’s favorite stand-up comedy specials of 2023

Jason Greenough — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 20:50:00 +0000

With each passing year, it seems as though more avenues open up for artists, specifically comedians, to unleash content in unique and exciting new ways. In 2023, there was no exception to that idea, as a venerable ocean of specials, albums and overall digital content made its way into the world via numerous outlets aside from the usual goliaths like Netflix and HBO. We saw the birth of new independent comedy-centered record labels, comedians opting for self-produced specials on YouTube, […]

Mic’d Up: Sarah Silverman, Hari Kondabolu, Will Noonan, Kathleen Madigan

Jason Greenough — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 15:27:56 +0000

Editor’s Note: While the month of March is most often closely associated with shamrocks, Guinness, and Dropkick Murphys becoming everyone’s favorite band for a few weeks, look no further than right here for your pot o’ gold at the end of the comedy rainbow. With homegrown talent, national headliners, and open mics galore highlighting the calendar, the plethora of powerful comedy in and around the city continues to bring a level of madness that can’t even be topped by the […]
