Overview

The winner of the 2025 Boston Comedy Festival is now available for bookings!

Coming off a featured article in The Boston Globe for his inspiring comedy story, Liam McGurk is one of the most exciting-to-watch and original comedians working today. He is well known throughout New England for his laid-back demeanor and cerebral, creative material. He’s the only comic to ever win both the Funniest Person in Massachusetts and Boston Comedy Festival competitions, while also being featured nationwide in the 10,000 laughs Festival, Veil Comedy Festival, and many more. No issue is too personal or absurd for his brain’s faulty — or is it faultless? — wiring.

Laughter-Filled Evening Thanks to Liam McGurk!

We had an amazing experience working with Liam McGurk for our Silky Comedy Night at our restaurant! Liam was professional, easy to communicate with, and did a fantastic job curating a great lineup along with his fellow comedians.

The energy in the room was wonderful — the audience was engaged, laughing throughout the night, and many guests stayed back just to tell us how much they enjoyed the show. Liam struck the perfect balance of humor for a restaurant setting, making it fun and entertaining without crossing any lines.

From planning to execution, everything went smoothly, and the event added so much value to our evening service. We would absolutely love to host Liam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to organize a comedy night or live entertainment event.

Thank you, Liam, for making it such a memorable night! 👏🎤

All Star: Great comedy Mature

Liam McGurk’s comedy is energetic and dynamic, blending sharp observational humor with unapologetically adult themes. A natural entertainer, he brings rockstar-level charisma to the stage, blurring the line between comedian and performer.

What to expect

I am a stand-up comedian. If hired, I will come to your event and put on a comedy show (sorry to be obvious). I can come by myself and do up to an hour of material, or I can come with other comedians and put on a longer show. I can use your equipment, or I can bring my own.

In terms of what the show looks like, please tell me what you are looking for. Do you need the show to family friendly or are there no content restrictions? Do you want me to stay away from certain subjects or issues? Do you want me to tease someone special in the audience? I will tailor the show to your wants and needs. I take professionalism and customer service seriously. My number one priority is that you and your coworkers/friends/family all have a great time.

Any college or university events must be booked through my agency Metropolis Management.

About

Coming off a featured article in The Boston Globe for his inspiring comedy story, Liam McGurk is one of the most original and exciting comedians working today. Known throughout New England for his laid-back demeanor and cerebral, creatively off-beat material, he brings both thoughtfulness and silliness to the stage.

Liam is the only comedian to ever win both the Funniest Person in Massachusetts Competition and the Boston Comedy Festival. He has been featured nationwide at the 10,000 Laughs Festival, Vail Comedy Festival, and many more.

Whether he’s exploring pain and perseverance or riffing on Q-tips and Danny DeVito, no topic is too personal or too absurd for his brain’s faulty—or is it faultless?—wiring.

Liam is a must-see comedian whenever you get the chance to catch him live.

Additional booking notes

I need to know what kind of lighting and sound equipment your venue has. I need a microphone and possibly stage lighting. If you need me to bring my own equipment, then that is no problem. I would just need some notice.
