Comedy Legend Steve Sweeney At Pitman’s

He is arguably one of the best comedians in the business and when it comes to capturing New England humor, there are few that can rival the genius of the legendary Steve Sweeney, who will be bringing his award-winning act to Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia, Friday Nov. 27 for an 8pm show. Tickets are $25 and seating will be limited to 100 patrons.
Pitman’s is located at 94 New Salem, St. in Laconia and can be reached by calling (603) 527-0043.
It’s been a year and half since Sweeney last performed at Pitman’s, where he received a rousing ovation for a show which featured his dialects and character voices while treating the crowd to part of his critically acclaimed one man show “Townie.”
Sweeney has been seen on Letterman, Evening at the Improv, Comics Come Home, and Comedy Central, and has starred in his own Boston-based sitcom, Park Street Under.
Most recently he starred in the aptly titled film, “Sweeney Killing Sweeney,” and has also appeared in “The Forger,” “The Equalizer,” “Me, Myself & Irene,” “There’s Something About Mary,” “Next Stop Wonderland,” “Southie,” “Celtic Pride,” “Back to School,” and more.
Steve Sweeney is one of the funniest most versatile comedians in the business,” said Michael Smith of Laugh Riot Productions, which books the comedy at Pitman’s, as well as producing fundraisers with Sweeney and others, throughout New England. “Steve immediately connects with the crowd and has them from the first minute.
“He takes you on this hilarious ride through, not only his life, but if you have spent any time in New England, you will recognize his characters and the ‘people’ he brings to the stage.”
Also appearing will be Ryan Gartley, a New England favorite who along with Sweeney will give the crowd a great one-two punch as the table setter for Sweeney.
