John Tobin saw a show at Nick’s Comedy Stop in Boston in 1986 and his life has been running comedy venues ever since.
“Look at him. He’s Adorable” – John’s aunt at his first hosting gig!
Sure … Boston City Council for Boston’s 6tth District (2002-2010) and has been VP of Community Affairs at North Eastern Univ. since 2010 … but really … he’s never NOT been a key figure in the Boston comedy scene, which IS the great greatest comedy scene in the world.
Graduation Summa Cum Laude from the School Of Dick Doherty (and … AND … The Connecticut School Of Broadcasting) John learned how to run shows, treat people and maybe NOT pay comics using your own made up currency that they can then mimeograph! (Long live the 3 Dollar Dick Bucks)
From Boston legend Don Gavin to International rock star comic Bill Burr … If you told a joke in Boston in the last 35+ years, you told it at a club or show that John was producing.
A co-founder of the Boston Comedy Festival in 2000 to the new Boston Comedy Awards he started this year, John never stops creating new ways to help grow the scene. John takes pride and how more and more inclusive the Boston comedy scene is, showcasing more female comics, more comics who are POC and part of the LGBTQ1A+ community.
We’ve been so lucky to have some many hilarious comics on the podcast … none where funnier or hand better BTS comedy stories then John.
There nothing better than live comedy. Go to a show and say hi to John if he’s there.
