Comedy Night

As an older, divorced dad with a young daughter, Dave Rattigan has gained new perspective at the cost of sleep, patience and logical thought. That’s just one area the veteran Boston comedian covers in his act, which he’s performed at clubs, theaters, corporate shows, bowling alleys, colleges, coffeehouses, shopping mall food courts, hospitals, a library, and office parks. His CD (Dave Rattigan: Thinks He’s Funny) receives airplay on Sirius satellite radio and other stations and podcasts, and his video clips have run on NickMom.com and RooftopComedy.com.

An award-winning journalist and former columnist for North Shore Sunday and the glossy North Shore magazine, he has written humor for the Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, and others. He has performed in the Boston Comedy Festival, Hampton Beach Comedy Festival, Women In Comedy Festival and performed at a Boston-themed fringe show at the Kilkenny Comedy Festival in Ireland. He’s shared the stage with The Beach Boys, Steven Wright, Jeff Dunham, Nick DiPaolo, Lenny Clarke, Bill Burr, Jonathan Katz, and others, and performed at venues such as the Cape Cod Melody Tent, the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, N.H., and the Cabaret Theater at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. He is the host and producer for the standup stage show How Men Think (Or Do They?), and creator of the web series Post Office Golf League.
