Best of Boston Comedy Festival

Laughs will be abundant as the Best of the Boston Comedy Festival returns to the Kate.  Each year, the Festival brings in the best of the best in a weekend festival in Boston, and then they send some of the best down to Old Saybrook to take the stage at the Kate.

This live comedy event features legendary Boston comedian and celebrity, Steve Sweeney! Known as the "undisputed King of Boston comedy", Steve Sweeney embodies the city he calls home. Born in Charlestown, Steve Sweeney is a legendary Boston comedian known as a master of dialects and character voices. With his famous Boston accent and great insight into human nature, Steve is so thoroughly Bostonian that he merits his own stop on the MBTA Green Line. Steve learned his craft at the world famous Ding Ho Comedy Club, where he performed with Lenny Clarke, Denis Leary, Jay Leno, and more. Well-rounded and seasoned,

Steve has kept audiences laughing for years. He won his status, the old-fashioned way – he earned it! He has been a featured on major television shows including David Letterman, Evening at the Improv, Comics Come Home, and Comedy Central, and starred in his own Boston-based sitcom, Park Street Under. Steve’s trademark political satire has earned him top host spots on Boston radio stations 100.7FM WZLX (Sweeney’s Neighborhood) and 95.9FM WATD (Jay Mohr and Opie & Anthony.) In addition, Steve is an elite Master of Ceremonies selected by many charitable and political organizations (of both parties, but separately, of course!)
