Comedian Jack Lynch talks comedy and addiction

Boston Comedy Festival Podcast

Jack talks to Joey Carroll and Suzi Berlin about comedy and his new company helping folks with addiction.

Jack Lynch, is a 26-year veteran of the Boston comedy scene who has toured all over the United States and parts of Canada, entertaining crowds with his earthy style, great impressions, and clean but sarcastic view of the world.

Lynch draws his humor from having lived in the suburbs of Boston while at the same time having the unique perspective growing up with deaf parents. As a result of his family situation, Jack got away with more than the average Boston kid and he relates those stories to his wide range of audiences.

Jack is the oldest and only brother to three sisters, who were his first captive audience. He went on to be Class Clown and then on to bigger things, like playing prestigous clubs across the Country.

Lynch has performed at all the major Boston venues as well as The Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, The Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, The Improv in Miami Beach, The Punchline in Atlanta, Georgia, the Comedy Works in Montreal, Canada, as well as many colleges up and down the East Coast.

Jack has shared the stage with comedy legends such as Lenny Clarke, Stephen Wright and Damon Wayons to name a few. Jack also speaks to groups interested in discussing recovery from addiction. In these shows, Jack draws from his own 23 years in recovery.

According to Lynch, laughter is one of the most important aspects of human nature which is lost in addiction. Jack reminds his audience that it is not only great to laugh,but also a healthy outlet and a crucial part to a more content sobriety.
