Boston Comedy Legend Lenny Clarke (Rescue Me, Halloween Kills) headlines at Murphy's Taproom and Carriage House in Bedford, NH on Saturday, April 30. He'll perform alongside Jason Merrill, a fast-rising headliner in New England, and Dave Rattigan (Sirius Radio, NESN).
Doors open at 6:30 for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are reserved, starting at $25 to $35 for preferred seating.
L enny Clarke was working on a sitcom with Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) when the writer's strike hit in spring 2023. He's known nationally for his TV roles in Denis Leary's Rescue Me and The Job, as well as The John Larrouquette Show. In Boston, he's known as one of the first Boston comedy stars to hit it big, and returns to his hometown to play concerts such as Comics Come Home, make frequent appearances on Red Sox broadcasts, and appear at major fundraising events. Clarke starred in his own short-lived network sitcom Lenny, and in such TV shows as Contest Searchlight and It's All Relative and movies like Halloween Kills, Monument Ave., Fever Pitch and Southie. He's done comedy on HBO showcases, late night TV, and remains a fixture on such shows as Jimmy Kimmel Live.
With an act that's one part Saturday-morning cartoon character and one part pro-wrestler, Jason Merrill is a fast-rising Boston comedian with an animated style. The latest in a line of strong comedians from the great city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, he has impressed audiences with his streetwise style and good-natured exuberance. He has shared the stage with accomplished comedians such as Juston McKinney, Lenny Clarke, Christine Hurley, Joe Yannetty, and Steve Sweeney.
Dave Rattigan returns as host. He has performed at Fenway Park, The Cape Cod Melody Tent, The Palace Theater in Manchester, a lumberyard, the lobby of an ad agency, a library, and several parking lots. His CD has been played on Sirius Satellite Radio, and he performed multiple times on the syndicated Steve Katsos Show. He's done commercials for Olympia Sports and iParty that have run on New England regional TV stations. He's also performed in Dublin and Kilkenny, Ireland. He's performed at the Hampton Beach Comedy Festival (NH), Boston Comedy Festival, Women in Comedy Festival, and Salem Comedy and Spirits Festival.
