Milford Comedian Tim Champa Releases First Standup Album

MILFORD, MA — A comedian with Milford roots is heading out on tour this summer to support his debut standup album. Comedian Tim Champa will kick off his tour supporting "I Need A Favor" at Nick's Comedy Stop in Boston before a tour of New England.

Here are more details from a news release about "I Need A Favor":

This summer, get ready to laugh alongside one of Boston’s award-winning comedians as he releases his debut comedy album “I Need A Favor.” Tim Champa heads out on tour this summer making his first stop at Boston's historic Nick’s Comedy Stop on Friday, June 7th and Saturday June 8th from 8:00 – 9:30 p.m.

Champa has 10 headlining dates across New England scheduled over the summer and is working to finalize a few more. He will be taping throughout the “I Need A Favor” tour, and plans to release highlights from the tour as part of a recap sizzle reel for his YouTube and social media channels.

“I'm thrilled to be kicking off the tour at a club where so many of the Boston greats got their start,” Champa said. “I grew up watching standup and had wanted to try it since college, but I put it off for a long time, mostly due to stage fright and fear of failure. I finally gave it a try when I was 32 and going through a little bit of a quarter-life crisis. I immediately fell in love with it and it kind of saved my life, gave me an outlet and a sense of fulfillment that I was pretty desperate for. Now I’m 5 years in. I'm very proud of the show I've put together, and I can't wait for people to see it.”

Champa was a finalist in the 2022 Massachusetts’ Funniest Person contest and has been featured in the Boston Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest and the prestigious Seattle International Comedy Competition. Known as one of Boston’s best joke writers, Champa received the award for Joke of the Year at the 2024 Boston Comedy Choice Awards where he was also nominated for Rising Star of the Year. He performs all over the country, sharing stories from his unique upbringing as a missionary kid and charming audiences with an act Vanyaland Magazine calls “as relatable and genuine as you can get.”
