Not only is home where the heart is, but it’s also where your people vibe with you the hardest – and that’s especially true for Sam Jay, as we will see firsthand once again come next spring. Per the announcement shared earlier this week, the stand-up powerhouse and Dorchester native will be making her way back home for another throwdown at The Wilbur on May 2. With a brand new hour in the works following the success of her 2023 […]

If it’s one thing we’ve known and loved about Sarah Silverman over the years, it’s that she’s not up for delivering any nonsense lip service.

Editor’s Note: Usually, the best part about the comedy scene blossoming in and around Boston this time of year is that there is never a shortage of shows to check out, as homegrown talent, national headliners, and open mics galore make their way through and around the area.

Cancer must hold a resemblance to Ulf Samuelsson or something, because Cam Neely has made it his post-hockey life’s work to kick its ass. And for the past 24 years, Denis Leary and his never-ending rolodex of comedy cohorts have aided the Cam Neely Foundation in his consistent effort of making treatment, research, resources, and assistance more accessible to families, in the form of the massive stand-up celebration we all call Comics Come Home. The event’s 24th installment, which returned […]

…And Jim Breuer For All: The comedy veteran talks Boston, Metallica, and family

To say the very least, it must be really fun to be Jim Breuer. In 2018, or any year, really. The stand-up veteran has had the chance to sing a cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” with Billy Joel in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden this past March, almost went on stage to sing “Let There Be Rock” with Foo Fighters when they played MSG earlier this summer, and to complete the holy trifecta of rock and roll […]
