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.

As announced earlier this week, Distefano is set to make his return to The Wilbur on October 9, with a show at Medford’s Chevalier Theatre set for the following night on October 10 for a little “Chrissy […]

This time however, she has a new con to run in Somerville, and we’re gladly going to fall for it – again. Bringing the fall leg of her Body Con tour to Somerville’s Armory tonight (September 27), Stelling returns to the birthplace of Marshmallow Fluff to take on a larger stage and a larger audience, with anything but fluff packed into a brand new […]

Now she’s back from kicking ass on the field and has resumed kicking ass on stage — and will be returning to Somerville later this year to let us know what she’s been up to.

After a few years off the road, it was a big fear that she would be forgotten, but when it comes to Boston, that is far from the case — and the feeling is mutual. After more than three years since last paying a visit to the […]

Over the course of the 46 (maybe 47?) months since quarantine started, we’ve seen so many specials and general comedy content cranked out, with some representing the pivot to self-produced specials (try Sam Morril’s I Got This […]
