On Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024, the new Hard Hat Comedy Tour comes to the Plumbers and Gasfitters UA Local 12, 1240 Massachusetts Avenue, Dorchester. Hard Hat Comedy is a brand-new, hilarious, high-energy show starring three top Boston comedians who work on stages at night and construction sites during the day.
Bob Niles, Jason Merrill and Dan Miller have been killing it on Boston comedy stages for years, and then hauling themselves to work union construction jobs the next morning. Along with special guest host Dave Rattigan, they'll bring 90 minutes of high-energy, gut-busting, blue collar comedy to the union hall.
The public is welcome. Tickets are $30 for the show, with doors open at 7, and showtime at 8. All seats are reserved. Must be 21+.
There will be a cash bar, courtesy of Brews and Cips mobile bartending.
The Blue Collar Comedy Tour is sponsored by US Local 12 and the IUPAT-DC 35.
Bob Niles has been a popular comedian in New England for more than 25 years, headlining shows at comedy clubs, Elks clubs, Lions clubs, country clubs, Rotary clubs, and just regular traffic rotaries. Niles has lived an unusual life, and when he examines this life for people to see, the results are pure dynamite! Bob was just 20 years old when his first child was born, and his second child came when he was 46!! What happened in between gets looked at and the results are hilarious. From the Woodstock-generation to the 21st century, Niles has been a confused observer and a baffled participant.
With an act that's one part Saturday-morning cartoon character and one part pro-wrestler, Jason Merrill is a fast-rising Boston comedian with an animated style. The latest in a line of strong comedians from the great city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, he has impressed audiences with his streetwise style and good-natured exuberance. He has shared the stage with accomplished comedians such as Juston McKinney, Lenny Clarke, Christine Hurley, Joe Yannetty, and Steve Sweeney.
A native of the South End in Boston, Dan Miller was born a comedian but made it official when he burst onto the local comedy scene in the 1990s. Since then, he has teamed with local and national headliners including Lenny Clarke, Paul Nardizzi, Dane Cook, and Dave Attell. He's also done a turn as an actor and improv comedian as a lead in the Boston-area dinner theater production of "Mario and Mary's Italian Comedy Wedding." He has since been honing his craft in comedy clubs throughout New England. He's trained at The Actor's Workshop and at the Harrison Project with well-known acting coach Peter Kelly, and has appeared on regional television commercials.
Dave Rattigan has performed in Ireland and also at Fenway Park, The Cape Cod Melody Tent, South Shore Music Circus, a lumberyard, the lobby of an ad agency, a library, and several parking lots. "There's nothing funny about the way he looks, until he gives that deadpan look of his," popular blogger Ralph Fatello (RalphsPic.com) wrote earlier this year. "His outward appearance is something out of a mature GQ magazine. He looks like a cross between a semi hip banker, and your mild-mannered father-in-law .... Dave is the master of completely dismantling himself in front of a crowd of strangers. I'm always torn as to whether I should console him, or just laugh my ass off like everyone else .... You know they (comics) are hitting home when the audience starts to point at each other...." His CD has been played on SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
