More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Corbyn Besson, Richard Marx, and John Famiglietti of HEALTH, Denis Leary will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
Leary specializes in sharp, rapid-fire comedy, honed while coming up through Boston’s local clubs. “There’s something about Boston comedy crowds — it’s a combination of knowledge and enthusiasm, but they’re also tough,” he said in a local interview. “They can smell blood. They can smell fear. I always felt like it was trial by fire in the Boston clubs in the best possible way.” He’s gone on to create famous sketches about cancer and coffee, even crossing over from stand-up into TV and film (Rescue Me, Ice Age, etc.) while maintaining his biting humor. This week, he stops by the Artist Friendly studio for a conversation about his wide-ranging career with Madden.
