About Paul Nardizzi – Comedian for Hire

Stand-Up Comedian • Author • Boston Original

Paul Nardizzi isn’t just funny — he’s a comedy veteran with decades of punchlines under his belt, a relentless sense of sarcasm, and the kind of timing you can’t teach.
He exploded onto the Boston comedy scene in the 1990s and quickly became a local favorite and national headliner. Within four years of starting stand-up, Paul was appearing on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and soon after on Comedy Central, Fox Sports’ Best Damn Sports Show Period, NESN Comedy All-Stars, and more. He also took home first place at the Boston Comedy Festival — because apparently, “funniest guy in the room” is a thing you can win.

A Master of the Everyday Joke

Paul’s material covers everything from parenting chaos and real-life absurdities to the little annoyances that make you want to scream — or laugh until you cry. His sharp delivery and clean(ish) humor have made him one of the most requested acts on satellite radio and a go-to comedian for hire for corporate events, private parties, fundraisers, and comedy clubs across the U.S.
He’s also the creator of the Ranting Parents Comedy Tour, a no-holds-barred take on family life, featuring fellow comics Dave Rattigan and Jim Ruberti.

Fun Fact

Paul once overheard a comedian’s dad say, “He beat you because you say things funny, but he says funny things.” Still one of the best reviews he’s ever gotten.

Off Stage

When he’s not performing or writing, Paul is busy being a sarcastic dad, dodging Xbox controllers, and trying to get a word in at the dinner table. He’s also the author of several humor books and a few things his kids never read.
