This week, major players in the national comedy scene are coming home to Boston for the annual Cam Neely Foundation benefit show "Comics Come Home".

Denis Leary will host the 28th edition of the show, which this year features comedians Bill Burr, Lenny Clarke, Ronny Chieng, Alec Flynn, Zarna Garg, Lil Rel Howery, Robert Kelly and Sam Morrill.
