Lenny Clarke has an oddly calibrated act — his material and his perspective are very much in an old-school Don Rickles vein, but his attitude is very much that of a quick-witted young comic. This contrast comes wrapped in a conversational, deceptively genial delivery, with just brief moments of clowning. Clarke is also unpredictable in a very good way on stage — you don’t know where he’s going to go next! It’s never the same show twice. He’s a unique and funny performer and truly worth catching. ?An American comedian and actor, Lenny is famous for his thick Boston accent and role as Uncle Teddy on the series Rescue Me. He was the most famous "saloon comic" in Boston during the 1980s, the heyday of the Boston comedy scene. In 1980, Clarke wrote and starred in a local television show Lenny Clarke's Late Show. Since his early days in Boston, Clarke starred in his own short-lived network sitcom Lenny (1990), and in such TV shows as Contest Searchlight, The Job, The John Larroquette Show and It's All Relative and movies like Monument Ave., Fever Pitch and Southie. From 2004 to 2011, Clarke appeared in the recurring role of Uncle Teddy on the FX comedy-drama Rescue Me. COMEDIAN LENNY CLARKE - Friday, August 18 ??? ?8pm (Doors 7pm) ? ??Cash bar.
