By: Mark Allen Wood, Plymouth Performing Arts Network

Plymouth, get ready for a night of side-splitting laughter! The legendary Lenny Clarke is bringing his unique brand of comedy to The Spire Center for Performing Arts on Friday, March 14, 2025. Mark your calendars!

Doors open at 7 pm, and the show kicks off at 8 pm. Prepare for an evening filled with the kind of authentic, raw humor that only a Boston comedy icon can deliver. Tickets are a steal at just $27 to $30, and you can secure yours now at SpireCenter.org.

If you're a fan of classic comedy with a modern twist, Lenny Clarke is your guy. His act is a fascinating blend of old-school Don Rickles-esque material and the sharp, quick wit of today's top comics. What makes it even more engaging is his deceptively genial, conversational delivery, punctuated with moments of pure comedic clowning.

For those who remember the golden age of Boston comedy in the 1980s, Lenny Clarke was king. He was the most famous "saloon comic" in the city, and his impact on the scene is undeniable. The DVD "When Standup Stood Out" (2006) beautifully captures his early career and his close ties with fellow comedy giants like Steven Wright and Denis Leary. These friendships, forged in the crucible of Boston's vibrant comedy clubs, have stood the test of time.

Hailing from Cambridge, MA, Lenny's distinctive Boston accent is as much a part of his charm as his razor-sharp wit. Many will also recognize him as Uncle Teddy from the hit series "Rescue Me." But his roots go even deeper. In 1980, he created and starred in the local television show "Lenny Clarke's Late Show," a groundbreaking effort that featured the early talents of Steven Wright and Denis Leary, with the comedic genius of Boston comedy writer Martin Olson.

This is more than just a comedy show; it's a piece of Boston comedy history brought to life. Don't miss your chance to witness Lenny Clarke's comedic mastery firsthand. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his work, you're guaranteed a night of unforgettable laughs.
