Dave Rattigan Comedian from Beverly, MA

Boston headliner Dave Rattigan added "actor" to his resume when he played a businessman who loses a cab to Red Sox field reporter Heidi Watney in a popular and funny Olympia Sports commercial in 2009. Prior to that, he collected fans with his Dave Rattigan: Thinks He’s Funny CD, which received heavy airplay on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio and other syndicates. He's also written humorous columns for a wide variety of publications (including the Boston Globe and Christian Science Monitor). Live, he plays every type of gig, from opening for The Beach Boys at the Cape Cod Melody Tent to acting as master of ceremonies at corporate shows and fundraisers, to headlining at venues such at Mottley's Comedy Club in Boston and Headliners in Manchester, N.H. Smart and edgy without being vulgar, he is particularly perfect for a suburban audience, aged 30-60 -- but he has received great reviews from audiences where the members were as young as seven years old. CUSTOMIZING: He does a limited amount of customized material for private shows, usually at no charge. BOOKING: Generally, he books four months to one-year in advance, but may be able to fill open dates. EQUIPMENT: Can provide sound system and lights for additional $. OTHER SKILLS: Auctioneer, after-dinner speaker. He has also developed a two- to six-hour "Laughter in the Workplace" seminar. OTHER COMICS: Dave runs Scamps Comedy Productions, which produces first-class comedy shows in New England. This puts him in a unique position to help you make your event successful.
