Paul Gilligan is one of the most requested comedians in Boston, bringing down the house with an attitude first developed as a high school class clown, and with material culled from his life as a blue collar worker, husband and father. In addition to headlining in Boston clubs, golf tournaments, fundraisers, roasts, and other events, Gilligan has appeared on NESN’s Dirty Water TV and is a regular on the networks’s, Charlie Moore Outdoors with the Mad Fisherman.
Among the national headliners he’s performed with are Pat Cooper, the Amazing Johnathan, Dom Irrera, Dave Chappelle, Brian Regan, Gilbert Godfried and David Alan Grier, as well as Boston-boys-gone-national Dane Cook, Lenny Clarke, Nick DiPaolo, Joe Rogan, John Pinette, and Maine’s Bob Marley. At one point, he hosted his own weekly shows at two Nick’s Comedy Stop locations, in Framingham and Saugus.
