Comedy Icon LENNY CLARKE Comes to Capitol Center, 3/9

Legendary Boston Comedian, thought to be one of the original comics from Boston Lenny Clarke is back on the road with his "No Holds Barred" stand up comedy tour. The tour stops at the Capitol Center for the Arts on Friday March 9th at 8pm. Tickets start at $20.

Lenny is currently featured in NBC's new comedy Are You There, Chelsea. Recently, Lenny also appeared in the Dennis Leary FX show RESCUE ME and has also been in some great comedy movies: There's Something about Mary, Fever Pitch, Stuck on You and Me, Myself, and Irene to name just a few.

Lenny Clarke spent several years as the host of the open-mike nights at the famous Ding Ho Comedy Club in Cambridge, MA and has traveled the world as a stand-up comic. His comedic abilities captured the attention of Rodney Dangerfield, who gave him his first big break, casting him in Nothin' Goes Right. He and Dangerfield also worked together years later on Meet Wally Sparks. After years of hard work, Clarke was "discovered" at the Montreal Comedy Festival. He had his own series, The Eponymous Lenny, which ran for 18 episodes. Other TV work includes The John Larroquette Show, hosting The Sunday Comics, and appearances on Touched by an Angel, Hollywood Squares, The Job and The Love Boat: The Next Wave.
