JIMMY DUNN’S COMEDY ALL-STARS

Featuring:

Jimmy Dunn
Tony V
Mitch Stinson 
Paul Nardizzi

Jimmy Dunn is an actor and comedian who is most recognized from the CBS sitcom The McCarthys, where he co-starred as Sean McCarthy.

He got his start in the comedy world performing stand-up at a bar in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he was paid in beer and fried clams. 
Since then, Jimmy has gone on to perform on some of the comedy world's biggest stages, including Montreal’s Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, 
The Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, and Comics Come Home with Denis Leary.

Boston Sports fans know Jimmy from his many appearances on NESN (The New England Sports Network). He was the co-host of Fan Attic, a classic sports highlight show for the Bruins and Red Sox, and wrote and hosted "The Traveling Fan" segments on the Red Sox Pre-Game Show. He was also the wise-cracking voice of Sox Appeal, the Emmy award-winning dating show that took place inside Boston’s Fenway Park.


Tony V just opened for Bill Burr in front of 37,000 people at Fenway Park. He started his stand-up comedy career in 1982 after attending several shows at Boston’s prestigious Comedy Connection. He wandered in one night, quite by accident, looking for a little stress relief from a high pressure job as a case worker at the Somerville Mental Health Center. Tony was working his way toward a Masters degree in social work having graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a B. S. in Psychology. It was not long after that he took to the stage himself. Tony’s street wise humor tempered with a genuine feel for the human condition quickly propelled him to headliner status on the national comedy club circuit.

In 1986 Tony V was named “Funniest Person in Massachusetts” by Showtime television. He followed this achievement with several performances on HBO, the Arts and Entertainment Network, Comedy Central and MTV. From 1987 through 1992 Tony V became the “spokesperson” for American Tourister Luggage. Remember the suit case smashing gorilla? It was Tony that gave the ape it’s distinct voice and temperament. Touring extensively in and out of his high tech forty-five thousand dollar yak hair gorilla suit, both Tony and his alter ego had many interesting adventures. If you get a chance ask Tony about a meeting between The Gorilla, Spuds MacKenzie and Ronald McDonald. You won’t believe your mind.

Mitch Stinson is a former aircraft-carrier aviator for the United States Navy who, as a pilot, made over 200 carrier landings during his 10 year military career. Mitch has recently risen through the comedy ranks in the Northeast US by virtue of his original material that offers unique insight into the transition from hot-shot Navy pilot to everyday civilian life… resonating with comedy crowds everywhere.


Paul Nardizzi is a Boston based comedian known for his rapid fire delivery and sarcasm.  Paul grew up just outside of Boston in Dedham Massachusetts.  He graduated from Bentley University before embarking on a career in stand up.  He made his first Tv appearance five years later.    He has been described as a cross between Dennis Miller and Steven Wright.   Paul is a fan of both, although he prefers George Carlin over all others.  The greatest compliment he ever got was from the father of a comedian he had just bested in a comedy competition.  The man told his son, while in earshot  of Paul, "He beat you because you say things funny, but he says funny things."
