WHEN: Friday, JULY 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 2021 at 7:00pm EDT Boston, Mass.
On July 3rd 2020, The stars aligned for a really unique comedy reunion and fundraiser with interviews, clips and comedic riffs from a monolithic lineup of comics, all of whom got their start at the famed Ding Ho Comedy Club in Cambridge, Mass. The lineup reads like a “Who’s Who” of the early Boston comedy scene, most of whom are still working in television, film, radio, podcasts, on stage and – given the current circumstances of the pandemic – online. They reunited for one night only through the miracle of Zoom — to laugh, reminisce and pay tribute to the founder of the Ding Ho, Barry Crimmins, while raising much-needed funds for the medical treatment and living expenses of his surviving wife Helen.
Barry died from cancer on February 28, 2018. In 2017, Helen was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is currently making steady progress in her recovery.
