Baron Vaughn
Mottley's is proud to present Baron Vaughn - one of the funniest, most talented, energetic and honest comics you could ever hope to see. He started comedy here in Boston but is now the toast of New York, where he's been seen on Broadway, at clubs, and in commercials. And he was a featured comedian at the HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen in 2006. The last time he played Mottley's, people left gasping for breath. Don't be crazy; buy tickets now!
Dan Boulger, who also tore the Aspen festival to pieces, and Bethany Van Delft, one of our local favorites, support Baron on this show. Jamie Lee, Erin Judge, and Shaun Bedgood drop in for guest sets, too.

Kelly MacFarland
Kelly MacFarland has an extensive and well-rounded resume including comedy clubs, theaters, colleges and several television appearances. She has been the opening act for the international craze Puppetry of the Penis. She has opened for Melissa Etheridge and LeAnn Rimes at both the Cape Cod Melody Tent and South Shore Music Circus. Kelly has appeared on Comedy Central�s Premium Blend. You may recognize her from season one of NBC's hit reality series, The Biggest Loser. Kelly worked along side Fred Willard as part of the rambunctious news team of �TV Network� on Turner Entertainment�s broadband site, SuperDeluxe.com. But mostly, she's incredibly talented, extremely funny, and as captivating an entertainer as you could ever hope to see.
Mottley's own Tim McIntire hosts the show, and MC Mister Napkins throws down the beats that have made him our most requested comic.

Thanksgiving
Turkey headlines this show, with stuffing, mashed potatoes and candied yams supporting. Your drunk uncle drops in for a guest set with his patented brand of awkward, inappropriate humor.
Later, Tofurky headlines our late night alternative show (no refunds).
(But seriously - enjoy time with your family and/or friends, and then we'll see you on Friday when you need some laughs and alcohol to recover from your family and/or friends).
11/28/2008 to 11/29/2008
Jon Fisch
Jon's appearances on Last Comic Standing 4, where he was the New York City Capital One Audience Favorite, gained him wide recognition and a new legion of fans. He has also been seen on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, was invited to perform at the 2007 HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, and is a host of 3 Men and a Chick Flick this season on the WE network.
Guilia Rozzi from the critically-acclaimed shows Mortified and Stripped Stories supports Jon on this show, and Jason Kanter makes his Mottley's debut. If you like your comedy smart, do not miss these shows!
12/05/2008 to 12/06/2008
Harrison Stebbins
If you like comics with energy, Harrison Stebbins will blow you away. We mean this as a compliment: he's a madman. Energy, improvisation, material, charisma, this maniac has it all. And you get to see it in Mottley's intimate space. The Green Dragon's Jessica Casciano joins Harrison both nights, while Mottley's own Jon Lincoln drops by on Friday, and Punk Rock Comedy's Dan Crohn joins the crew on Saturday. You better buy tickets, because we're not sure the building will still be standing come Monday.

The Walsh Brothers
Everybody's hometown favorites return from California just long enough to turn Mottley's inside out with their innovative frenetic comedy. They were the toast of the Aspen Comedy Festival, and we're proud to bring them to you (higher insurance premiums be damned). We're not entirely show which comics will show up to help them - but we do know Renata Tutko from the Great and Secret Show will be there. We expect a lot of surprise guests...you'll kick yourself if you miss this one!
The Walsh Brothers, Renata Tutko

Jim McCue
MOTTLEY'S IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS TONIGHT! COME SHAKE OFF THE SNOW WITH SOME FANTASTIC COMEDY (AND CHEAP BEER)!
At six foot six, Jim McCue stands head and shoulders above the sea of 'stick to the script' club comedians. Jim blends thought provoking material and uncanny improv skills with a style that actually encourages audience participation. Featured on Comedy Central, Comcast Comedy Spotlight and at the Boston Comedy Festival, and most recently, entertaining our troops in Iraq. He also founded the Boston Comedy Festival. A true pro, and truly hilarious. Mottley's favorites Carolyn Plummer and Josh Gondelman support Jim on this show.

Tony Moschetto and Dave Rattigan
It's a North Shore invasion! A double-headliner show featuring Dave Rattigan and Tony Moschetto, two of New England's funniest working comics. Dave's been heard on XM Radio, and Tony's exploits on Boston comedy stages are legendary. Maria Ciampa, one of the most charming and hilarious acts around hosts the show, and Selena Coppock drops in to do a couple guest spots. Top notch from beginning to end; don't miss this one!

Mortified
True tales... ripped from the pages of real life! Mortified stars everyday adults sharing their most embarrassingly real teenage diary entries, poems, love letters, lyrics and locker notes... in front of total strangers. Part comedy, part theater, part therapy. Fueled by strong word-of-mouth, Mortified has been embraced by fans across the nation with constant sold-out live events in various cities (LA, NYC, SF, Chicago, Portland, Austin, etc). Get up close and personal with the show that's been hailed as a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Jane, Daily Candy and more! Real words. Real people. Real pathetic. Share the shame. www.getmortified.com
Mortified, Boston
01/09/2009 to 01/10/2009
Robbie Printz
If you've been to a comedy club in Boston in the last 10 years, you've seen Robbie Printz. One of the most-requested comics on the scene, he combines incredible charisma with the ability to cram more punchlines into a headlining set than just about anyone. He's honest, hilarious, and truly a master of the craft. He's joined by Mottley's mainstays Tom Dustin and Mike Whitman, easily the next two comics primed to break out of the local scene. It's rare you'll see a show this loaded with talent - don't miss it! And to make it even better, Vicky Kuperman drops in to represent the West Coast comedy scene on Friday night!

Ryan Hamilton
Mottley's is proud to present Ryan Hamilton, one of the funniest, most charming comics working today. And it's not just us who think so - Rolling Stone named him a Top Five Comic to Watch. Heck, you probably already know this because you saw him on Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central or in one of the comedy festivals he's dominated in the last few years (Aspen, Boston, Las Vegas, and so forth).
And if that's not enough, Dan Boulger (winner of the Boston Comedy Festival in 2007 and toast of the Aspen Comedy Festival the very next year) supports Ryan on this show, along with Steve Macone, probably the fastest rising young comic in Boston, what with him winning BU's Funniest Comic contest. Really, an unbelievable night of comedy...you do NOT want to miss it!
01/23/2009 to 01/24/2009
Artie Januario
Mottley's is proud to present Artie Januario - one of the Boston scene's most original, hardest-working comics. Artie's been steadily building his fast-paced, brutally honest act and has earned his spot as a hometown favorite. He currently makes his comedy home in a far-off, magical land called Saugus, but we convinced him to come into Boston and show you how comedy is done! He's bringing Dave McDonough with him (the deadpan assassin), so you know this show will rock. We even have WEEI's Graig Murphy and Coomer on the show, too, with Tim Dillon holding it all together. Don't miss it!

Juston McKinney
Mottley's is proud to present Juston McKinney, one of the true success stories in New England comedy. Juston has appeared numerous times on a The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno and several times on Comedy Central, including his own half-hour Comedy Central Presents special. He is also part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour "The Next Generation" which aired on TBS and is currently available in stores on CD/DVD. He has his own weekly show on Sirius XM radio called Juston McKinney- Live From the Woods. The New York Times calls him "Destined for stardom." The New York Daily News calls him "Hysterical." His father calls him "to ask for money."
Supporting Juston is one of the best jokewriters in Boston - Jon Rineman. Creator of the popular Rinemania.com website, Jon's written for a certain popular late night talk show and DailyComedy.com. And comedy veteran Pat Napoli joins us for his Mottley's debut! A great night of comedy, top to bottom. Don't miss it!
02/06/2009 to 02/07/2009
Frank Santorelli
Frank Santorelli is probably best known for his role on The Sopranos - he was Georgie, the bartender/punching bag at the Badda Bing - but we love him at Mottley's because he's one of the best comics the city of Boston has ever produced. He's been a part of the Boston scene since there was a Boston scene, and you'll be kicking yourself if you don't come see him in Mottley's intimate environment. Frank's a master of timing, and this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He also has something special planned, but he won't tell us what. Now THAT is comedy on the edge!
Tom Morello opens the show on Friday night, with Mottley's favorite Giulia Rozzi dropping in for a guest spot. Saturday night, Shaun Bedgood returns to open for Frank. Best of the old school and best of the new school indeed!

Every Wednesday Jon Lincoln, Chris Coxen and Robby Roadsteamer bring a new crop of Boston comedians to Mottley's stage; between acts they perform their own blend of music, stand-up and quirky characters. This is where the unexpected happens. This is the intersection of traditional and bizarre. This is...The Lincoln Exhibit!

Al Ducharme & Bernadette Pauley
Mottley's is proud to present two of the best comics headlining comedy clubs today - Al Ducharme and Bernadette Pauley. They're the reigning king and queen of the New York comedy scene, but they're both New England natives, and we're psyched to get them back up here. Bernadtte's been seen on Comedy Central, Fox, VH-1 and TBS, and Al's been seen on Inside Edition and HGTV, where he hosted the first season of "Mission Organization," as well as in the films "Next Stop Wonderland" and "Original Sin." Massive star power on the Mottley's stage! Our very own Bethany Van Delft hosts the show Friday night; the hilarious Stephen Donovan hosts Saturday. Don't miss this one!

DJ Hazard - ONE NIGHT ONLY
Mottley's is proud as can be to present DJ Hazard - one of the most legendary comics in the history of Boston.
Ten years of Commercial Art, Theater and Rock Bands brought DJ Hazard to the comedy stage. A founding member of the infamous Ding Ho Club (whose members include Steven Wright, Bobcat Goldthwait, Paula Poundstone, Jimmy Tingle, Denis Leary, Lenny Clarke, Brian Kiley and Barry Crimmins) Hazard went on to tour nearly all of North America, achieving near cult status along the way.
He can be seen in the award winning films Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story and Bourbon and has just wrapped shooting on The Tourist and Cold Calls. He is also the newest cast member on American Misfits on Fuel TV!
His long-awaited second CD, El Hazardo Rides Again, will be available after the show.
Mottley's favorites Bethany van Delft and Tim McIntire support DJ for this show.
