The best part about laughter is the fact that it's involuntary. You can't control what makes you laugh and laughing is good for the soul. People who laugh are happier and healthier.

If your looking for a laugh filled, fun night at an unpolished place:

Massachusetts' Most Divey, Legacy Comedy Spot

If you're looking for laughs in a genuinely gritty, divey, and iconic spot, it's Nick's Comedy Stop.

This intimate club, which has seating for around 100, has earned its stripes as a launchpad for comedy legends like Denis Leary, Louis C.K., and Patrice O’Neal.

Tickets are more than fair priced at about $20-30 bucks, this dimly lit, nothing special stage comedy spot is perfect for the regular Massachusetts person.

A full bar combined with a no-drink minimum means you can enjoy an evening of belly laughs without later bellyaching over the cost. -timeout.com

For those seeking a no-nonsense, laugh-filled evening where the jokes hit hard and the atmosphere feels like a shared secret, Nick’s Comedy Stop delivers, night after night, as it has for nearly five decades.
