Mike Donovan, recipient of the 2024 Boston Comedy Legacy Award, is from the legendary wave of “Ding Ho Comics” from the 1970s and still has his fastball. The South Boston native works the top clubs in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and has been featured on The NESN Comedy All-Stars, ESPN’s SportsCenter, Fox’s Best Damn Sports Show Period, and the Showtime network. He was featured in the documentary When Standup Stood Out. He’s also a frequent guest on Boston radio, particularly WBZ.

South Shore native Bob Niles has been a popular comedian in New England for more than 30 years, headlining shows at comedy clubs, Elks clubs, Lions clubs, country clubs, Rotary clubs, and just regular traffic rotaries. Niles has lived an unusual life, and when he examines this life for people to see, the results are pure dynamite! Bob was just 20 years old when his first child was born, and his second child came when he was 46. Niles examines the happenings in between, with hilarious observations from crazy situations. From the Woodstock-generation to the 21st century, Niles has been both confused observer and baffled participant.
