Dick Doherty - Comedian

It was a pleasure working with Dick Doherty...he is such an interesting person. I love comedy and I captured the essence of his personality with this shot. His kindness and humility shows through. Over 40 years in the comedy business, he runs the Beantown Comedy Vault. His background is fascinating. His stories about the shows at the Copa in NY and in Atlantic City are hilarious. I did not know that he also owned a club at the Charles Playhouse called the "Improper Bostonian"... 10 years before the Ding Ho was around - where so many Comedians like Steven Wright, Jimmy Tingle, and Dennis Leary got their start. His stories about growing up in an Irish family really made me smile! It was also very inspirational to hear about someone who has overcome adversity and hardship so many times in his life to do what he loves best. Comedy. You should see one of his shows! He is the best! got to http://www.dickdoherty.com/ to see a schedule
