Who doesn’t like to laugh and enjoy? Attending a comedy show is fun for some whereas an escape for some from their hectic schedule. Comedy shows in Boston are known for their epic comedy shows. In the 1980s, Boston’s comedy industry was recognized for breaking famous names like Lenny Clarke, fostering an atmosphere for comedians looking to build a name for themselves. Boston was the place to go if you wanted to make a name for yourself as a stand-up comedian.
Since then, comedy has evolved; hilarious is no longer what it once was, and up-and-comers looking to reinvent live comedy performances are desperate to be found and are turning to the old guard as well as some unconventional venues to do it.
