Legends of Boston Comedy began in 2013 as a collaborative project between Laugh Boston and Improv Asylum, debuting at the Citi Shubert Theatre in Boston. The concept brings together Boston’s best-loved stand-up voices for a night of storytelling and sharp, city-specific humor. Over the years, the core lineup has featured a who’s-who of Boston comedy legends, including Tony V, Lenny Clarke, Steve Sweeney, and Don Gavin. In 2025, the lineup adds Johnny Pizzi alongside Don Gavin, Lenny Clarke, and Steve Sweeney, continuing the tradition of celebrating local comedic history while inviting new energy into the stage. The Legends format helped spark the broader Boston Comedy Blowouts—a theater-era movement that blends veteran performers with contemporary talent across the city’s venues.
