Dick Doherty - Godfather of Boston Comedy

Dick started out in the early-sixties as a folk singer and happy hour performer and grew for two decades through extremely successful periods as rock singer, blue-eyed soul singer, and pop singer. As much as music had been an important foundation from which Dick could present his comedy talents in rooms across the country where comedy had never been done, a more suitable format has now presented us with the perfect conditions to enjoy "The Stand-up Comedian" Dick Doherty; The Comedy Club.

In 1987, to the delight of thousands of Bostonians, he opened Dick Doherty's BEANTOWN COMEDY VAULT. Conveniently located on Boston Common in Boston, downstairs at REMINGTON'S Eating and Drinking Exchange. A room with ambiance, charm, and intimacy unlike any other in New England (certainly Boston) was perfect for those who re-discovered the many talents of Dick Doherty.

Today Dick Doherty is at the center of the New England Comedy scene. Although Dick operates 3 of the finest comedy clubs in New England: Dick Doherty's BEANTOWN COMEDY ESCAPES located in LOWELL MA & THE WHITE MOUNTAINS NH & Dick Dohertys BEANTOWN COMEDY VAULT located in BOSTON. His dynamic presence as a performer has called out for his return to the limelight. In just a few short years, he reclaimed his position as one of New England's top Headliners, working every major comedy club in New England, often for clubs that compete in the market with his own. So respected is his position in the Boston and New England Comedy Community, the Boston press has titled him "THE GODFATHER OF BOSTON COMEDY."
