Whether it was the 25th anniversary milestone, the vibe of the sold-out crowd, or the fact that the lineup was a straight-up banger, Comics Come Home 25 proved to be one of the most Boston-rooted installments of the benefit to date. I just really want to thank you and let you know that your work had a big enough impact on my life that it led to me pursuing art as more than just a hobby , and inspired me to begin seriously planning out a comic of my own. New year on the horizon, new changes, updates, and revisions. Wish all the best, and for this wonderful story to be just as successful here as it has been in the past, more. I can't wait to see this place filled with your wonderful pages. But I'm glad you have found a new place to upload at and can't wait to read what will happen next.
Amid all the testosterone , local nightclub warrior Kelly MacFarland stood out with her uproarious material about her husband of four years, and the absurdity of their domestic life together. But it was the caustic Bill Burr, one of stand-up’s current reigning kings, who brought down the house with his headlining set. The annual Comics Come Home, the all-star showcase for the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care, has provided big names, bigger laughs, and no small share of controversy over the years. Saturday’s installment, the 25th, featured running themes including old age, lesbians, and bad parenting.

The funds raised during Comics Come Home are critical in helping the Foundation’s mission to provide comfort, support and hope to adult and pediatric cancer patients and their families. In a phone interview to promote the 25th anniversary of the show, Leary and Boston Bruins president Cam Neely trade oft-told stories of shows gone by. Neely remembers a crew of local comics like Wright and Steve Sweeney helping to kick off the show in the early years. Then it was staged at the Orpheum Theatre, before moving to the Agganis Arena and most recently to the TD Garden. Leary remembers the late Patrice O’Neal inciting the crowd after a Red Sox World Series win by wearing Yankees gear onstage, and Jon Stewart giving a heroic performance before succumbing to food poisoning in the backstage bathroom at the Orpheum.
I have been SO SO happy to refind Home to read as I would have been wondering what happened to all the beloved charters I love to read about and see. Then when I could not find it on DA I was like NO but then here I was like YES. I know you took it off there but at one time I know you still kept art up there just not sure if you still do or not. Again LOVE this comic love your work and blessings to yall. I was on DA as Diamond2001 or something like that lol its been SO long since I was on there lol. The East Boston native was met with raucous applause both before and after his set, but he made sure to share his moment in the spotlight with his daughter, Rosie, as he was given the chance to conduct what has to be one of the largest gender reveals in documented history.
Denis Leary Setlist
I eventually was inspired enough that I tried my hand at some fanart of the pups, and thus my newfound passion for badly attempting to draw dogs was formed haha. For the past 25 years, Comics Come Home has been an unofficial kickoff to the holiday season. Host Denis Leary will gather friends new and old Saturday night at the TD Garden and renew traditions — singing Leary’s “The Song,” speculating about what outrageous outfit Lenny Clarke will wear, welcoming a new Boston comic — this year it’s Kelly MacFarland — into the lineup.
It has become as much of a social event for the comedian as it is a charity event that raises money for the Cam Neely Foundation. With the exception of Kroll and Mulaney, the lineup is exclusively New England, which is as close to perfect as you can get for a night to celebrate such a milestone, as Leary and co. continue their run as the longest-running charity comedy show in the country. While it would bring in some new readers it would also bring in haters and you can't really disable comments on the front page of your DA even if you block someone they can still see/note you. To be honest he's probably a lot happier without having to post on DA as DA can be pretty rough on comic artists. The comedy fundraiser was founded by Hockey Hall of Famer and Boston Bruins President Cam Neely and actor/comedian Denis Leary best known for his role in Rescue Me amongst others. Comics Come Home has raised over $13 million since inception.

The joy in his voice as he read that it was a boy was palpable, and an absolutely fitting end to his titanic return to CCH. After working out his set all over the area for most of the week prior to the show, Burr set fire to the stage, as he touched on a little bit of everything. From personal stories about the birth of his daughter, to an absolute evisceration of cancel culture, Burr held nothing back with expert precision. He made people uncomfortable; he made them double over in laughter.
After taking a few jabs at the old people sitting up front, the Medford native settled into a set that simply murdered, to put it bluntly. With a lot of his material based on his size, Kelly held nothing back as he detailed the frustrations of events like getting his first colonoscopy, and not being able to fit into a snow tube. Always great with improv, as well, Kelly took a moment to light-heartedly chastise the spotlight operator for not being able to keep up with him, despite his “walking like a baby elephant.” From end to end, Kelly went hard in the paint, and had the crowd primed and ready to roll for the main event to close out the show.
Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Comics Come Home VI by Denis Leary. @CamNeelyFdn on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter #CCH26 for the latest updates. The show ended with Leary’s customary anthem, its title a seven-letter word for, um, an inconsiderate person. Earlier in the evening, Mayor Marty Walsh appeared onstage to declare Denis Leary Day in Boston. Be great if we can get the commenting back, but I understand that there are A-Holes, and that's why you had to take down the commenting section.
I was so glad to find you here I know you left DA or took the comic down from there. I dont know if you are still on DA I think its been a year or 2 since I had been on there. I had a house fire back in 2019 lost everything even my little rescue. Only my outside farm made it my cat and my old/new service dog as they were with me as I was out that day.
At the time that Smackjeeves had just changed, their page size limit was 690px, this is way too small for my Home pages and the pages could no longer be read because of it, so I decided to move the comic to ComicFury since it was recommended by other creators. Please take your time uploading all your comic onto here!! Its sad that all your hard work on SJ was just stopped because they decided to change without giving you an option to keep the original size. When I am bored and got spare time to do enjoy rereading the entire series. If so I can't wait, I really look forward to rereading it again while I'm on break at work.
The event, now in its 25th year, benefits the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care and the Neely House at Tufts Medical Center.
I have been noticing a lot of artists from SmackJeeves migrating to comicfury because of some "changes", but I don't know why and I am very curious. May I ask what those specific changes were at SmackJeeves that caused you to personally make your move? The crowd received a much-needed breather from the continuous hilarity as Mayor Marty Walsh took the stage to declare that Saturday, November 9 is now officially Denis Leary day in the city of Boston — which Leary understandably ran away with for the rest of the evening, flaunting it every chance he got. Over the course of the show’s run, there’s been only one other guy who has taken the stage just as many times as Leary, and that’s Lenny fucking Clarke. Someone just told me about this today, and I binged the whole thing from start to finish.
