Framingham's Nardizzi Headlining Comedy Show at Sheraton Framingham Hotel

With multiple appearances on Conan O’Brian, Comedy Central, XM Satellite Radio and other national outlets, Framingham’s Paul Nardizzi is acknowledged as one of the best comedians in the country.

On Saturday, Sept. 27, he headlines the first in a six-week comedy series at the Sheraton Framingham Hotel & Conference Center, 1657 Worcester Road, where he will also serve as series producer.

“I think every comedian has the desire to put on his own shows, for his own community,” said Nardizzi, who will appear with two other accomplished comedians, Katie Grady and Jack Lynch. “We all have our talent preferences and ideas about building a killer show, and this gives me the chance to try mine.”

Future shows, all on Saturday nights, will feature headliners Dave Russo from NESN’s Dirty Water TV (Oct. 4), Dave Rattigan from XM Satellite Radio and local commercials (Oct. 11), former national touring headliner Stephen Bjork (Oct. 25), Brad Mastrangelo from Comedy Central and Denis Leary’s “Comics Come Home” concert (Nov. 1) and Mike McCarthy, “The Comedy Barbarian” (Nov. 15).All shows at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $20, and are available at scampscomedy.com, the web site of Scamps Comedy, co-producer of the event.

Parking will be validated.

The comedians vary in style, but the shows are geared to the suburban comedy audience: dating and married couples, or groups.

“Some of the comedians do colleges, but it’s definitely not geared to the college audience,” said Nardizzi, whose local credits include winning the Boston Comedy Festival and several appearances on NESN, including doing standup on the NESN Comedy All-Stars. “It’s a great date night, because you don’t have to talk to your spouse.”

Producing the shows has also given Nardizzi the responsibility of promoting and marketing them.

“It’s always a challenge to get people into the seats,” said Nardizzi, who has reached out to sports organizations and other non-profits with the offer of running fundraisers in conjunction with the shows. “I can tell you this – anybody who comes will see great comedy.”
