Not yet 42 years ago (1996), yet a long long time ago and certainly pre-pandemic, Rick Jenkins opened The Comedy Studio in the attic of a Chinese restaurant. Through ups and downs, through different Camberville locations – the intersection of old skool artistry and progressive viewpoints/performance – the Studio has found a long term home in Harvard Square.
The Comedy Studio remains Boston’s most unique stage for comedians and other artistic performers in an intimate and inclusive environment for theatrical lovers and performers. Winner of the “Best of Boston, Best Comedy Club” for three consecutive years by Boston Magazine.
Now under new management, a key goal of the Studio is to be “where entertainers come home” when in Boston. This inevitably means being welcoming to one and all, an occasionally eclectic mix of attitudes and a space to experiment. Entering means accepting all of humanity with tolerance, even if not agreement, yet always with a smile in your heart.
The Comedy Studio features an array of emerging and world-renowned comedic and artistic talent. But don’t take our word for it. Frank Smiley, senior producer of Conan said of The Comedy Studio, “I consider it the greatest comedy club on earth.” We agree. And we want more…we will push beyond our core of stand-up, we welcome new forms which will entertain.
Our typical line ups and schedules vary but are based around the following acts and performances:
Monday – Music & Spoken Word
Tuesday – Open Mic
Wednesday – Headliner “An hour with…”
Thursday – 3-5 people, featuring a longer set
Friday & Saturday – Showcase with 5-6 people and regular drop-in special guests

Soon he was booked at bars, clubs, and colleges (but mostly bars) all over New England.
Nick spent 3 years in Phoenix, AZ where he became a frequent feature act for the Tempe Improv and Stand Up Live. Opening for national headliners such as Rachel Feinstein, Josh Blue, and Nate Bargatze, Nick paid the rent with comedy ONE TIME and became addicted to chasing the dream!
In 2017, Nick won a roast competition called Snap Battles at the Tempe Improv. He would go on to get hired as Roast Master for a private event honoring the Senior Vice President of the Phoenix Suns!
Since moving back to the East coast, Nick has hit the road headlining clubs all the way from San Diego, CA to sold out crowds back home in New England. Working on comedy full-time inspired his podcast Should You Quit Your Job? where Nick and co-host Jake Klark interview guests who are working a day job while chasing a dream to help them decide if they’re ready to make their dreams reality.
