Description

Featuring Lenny Clarke, Jimmy Dunn, & Kelly MacFarland LENNY CLARKE Lenny Clarke spent several years as the regular host of the open-mike nights at North Shore Comedy Club and has since traveled the world as a stand-up. His gifted comedic abilities captured the attention of the legendary Rodney Dangerfield who gave Lenny his first big break on TV, casting him on the HBO special "Nothin' Goes Right," in 1988. He and Dangerfield also worked together years later on Rodney's movie, "Meet Wally Sparks." After years of hard work, Lenny was "discovered" at the Montreal Comedy Festival. CBS gave him his own TV series, the eponymous "Lenny," which ran for 18 episodes. His other TV work includes four-plus years on "The John Larroquette Show," as Officer Adam Hampton, hosting "The Sunday Comics" and guest appearances on "Touched by an Angel" and "Love Boat: The Next Wave." His feature films include "Me, Myself and Irene," "Rounders," "There's Something About Mary," "Two if by Sea," "Southie," "Massholes" and the forthcoming independent film "Bluff."
