Capacity Crowd For Inaugural Comedy Night at Angry Ham's

Comedy came to Framingham Thursday night, as the Angry Ham’s Bar & Grille hosted Boston-favorite Lenny Clarke, Plymouth’s Christine Hurley and Jimmy “JJ” Walker from the 1970s television show Good Times.

It was a capacity crowd for the ticketed event, which Angry Ham’s owner Tim Hanna said he hopes to make it a monthly event, hosting big-name and local comedians. Tickets were $40 and incuded a buffet.

“Who is in charge of road construction in Framingham?” Walker said as he started his set to open the night.

Clarke said he was surprised not to see an all-Brazilian audience her in Framingham, as he told the crowd that he started out his career at a Chinese restaurant in Cambridge and after years of success is performing at a place called the Angry Ham in Framingham.

Clarke’s act focused on his weight loss, and former Governor Deval Patrick. He made fun of a gig he had once in Maine at a Bed & Breakfast, and performed an extra 20 minutes, after asking that two individuals interrrupting his performance leave.

Clark, always a crowd favorite, talked about New Englanders and snowstorms and the need to go to Stop & Shop and Market Basket, the “Spanish Stop & Shop.”

But the crowd also loved Hurley, who was a finalist on America’s Funniest Moms.

She told the audience, that she is the mother of five children, and married 20-plus years to her high school sweetheart Jimmy Hurley, a Randolph firefighter.

How the Plymouth mom survives? “You can mix Slim-Fast with vodka,” she said and the “bitches at the bus stop can’t smell the vodka.”

She said her husband is now a “yummy” 275 pounds and if you are unlucky enough to be in a burning building, on the second floor, in Randolph, “you better be hanging out the window with a big bucket of chicken.”

Hurley’s act focused on suburban life and other moms - moms at the bus stop who try to one-up each other at 8 a.m. in the morning, moms on the baseball diamond, and moms on Facebook.

My daughter applied to 10 medical schools and she got into 15, Hurley said about one mom who posted on Facebook.

Johnny got stratight A’s, again, said Hurley about another Facebook mom’s post.

She told the audience she was sick of Facebook and then rattled off her final three posts ever on Facebook, including “Post #1. My 15-year old got her period today. Dodged another bullet.”

Her act also took shots at youth sports and married life.

If Hurley comes back to Framingham, grab your girlfriends and have a night out. You won’t stop laughing.
