GENRE

Comedy

For over a decade the Boston Comedy Festival has been the “Comic’s Comedy Festival,” showcasing the most innovative up and coming stand-up comedians in the country. On this special night (617 being Boston’s area code), we celebrate the city that brought you Cheers, Louis C. K., Steven Wright, and Mahky Mahk. We’ve put together a killer line-up of comics that have been featured everywhere from Comedy Central to Conan O’Brien (another one of Boston’s favorite exports). If you love a gut-busting, laugh-out-loud good time, we will see you there!!
