Lenny Clarke at The Colonial

Nationally known comedian, Lenny Clarke, with the heavy Boston accent and the Don Rickles attitude, might do just about anything. You really don’t know what will come out of his mouth next. He came up in the 1980s, the heyday of Boston Comedy, with fellow funnymen Steven Wright, Martin Olson and Denis Leary. In fact he was roommates with Olsen, and their apartment, known by comedians as “The Barracks,” was a notorious “crash pad” for visiting comics, and the subject of a documentary film as Clarke and Leary explain in “When Standup Stood Out.”
