Hosted By: Will Smalley
If there was one word to describe comedian Will Smalley…it would sort of make this bio obsolete. So instead, here are many words! Still fresh off the line and with that “new car” smell, comedian Will Smalley has readily established himself as one of the powerful new voices and joke writers in the Boston comedy scene. Will was recently chosen to be Comic In Residence in 2011 at the Comedy Studio in Cambridge, MA and can be found playing all the major clubs ,venues and colleges across New England. As a joke writer for “The Steve Katsos Show” on MyTV Network, Will continues to work rigorously in further planting a strong foothold in the entire comedy scene and broaden his comedic footprint. Will Smalley is a comedian who actually wishes this bio was only one word.
