August 11 special show
* Special Show Steve Sweeney
Born in Charlestown, Steve Sweeney is a legendary Boston comedian known as a master of dialects and character voices. With his famous Boston accent and great insight into human nature, Steve is so thoroughly Bostonian that he merits his own stop on the MBTA Green Line.
Steve learned his craft at the world famous Ding-Ho Comedy Club, where he performed with Lenny Clarke, Denis Leary, Jay Leno, and more. Well-rounded and seasoned, Steve has kept audiences laughing for years. He won his status, the old-fashioned way – he earned it!
He has been a featured on major television shows including David Letterman, Evening at the Improv, Comics Come Home, and Comedy Central, and starred in his own Boston-based sitcom, Park Street Under.
Steve’s trademark political satire has earned him top host spots on Boston radio stations 100.7FM WZLX (Sweeney’s Neighborhood) and 95.9FM WATD (Jay Mohr and Opie & Anthony.) In addition, Steve is an elite Master of Ceremonies selected by many charitable and political organizations (of both parties, but separately, of course!)
Steve is a successful actor and has appeared in many Hollywood films, which include:
The Forger [2014]
The Equalizer [2014]
Me, Myself & Irene [2000]
There’s Something About Mary [1998]
Next Stop Wonderland [1998]
Southie [1998]
Celtic Pride [1996]
Back to School [1986]
Steve lives just outside his hometown of Boston and when not working loves to spend quiet time with his dog and friends.
Jim has been featured on Comedy Central, NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” Redeye on Fox news, Live at Gotham AXS TV and “Roughing It” on NESN in his native New England. Jim also founded and currently runs The Boston Comedy Festival. Since 2000 Jim has also entertained U.S. troops at more than 100 bases around the world.
Andrew Mayer
With a quirky delivery and an offbeat sense of humor, Andrew Mayer has quickly become a mainstay in Boston’s comedy scene. He has performed in the Bridgetown and Laughing Skull comedy festivals and was a Champion of the Boston Comedy Festival comedy contest.
