Barry Crimmins: Legendary Comic, Activist, Complicated HERO

Barry Crimmins: Legendary Comic, Activist, Complicated HERO

To his old crowd (Steven Wright, Paula Poundstone, Bobcat Goldthwait, Kevin Meaney, Jimmy Tingle and many others), Crimmins is the patron saint of original, creative comedy in Boston and a brooding ideologue. His wit is as sharp as his sense of social justice, which has been known to eclipse a joke or two. But his hour-plus show, 'Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian Soul', served as a persuasive example of what intelligent stand-up comedy, politically themed or otherwise, can be.

The subject of Bobcat Goldthwait's Sundance-winning documentary "Call Me Lucky", Legendary Comic, Obnoxious Activist, Brave Crusader, and Complicated Hero, Barry's show will be more than a show, it will be an experience that will stick with you.
