Murphy's NY's Eve Comedy Spectacular: Paul Nardizzi, Jim Colliton, more

Finish off 2024 with laughter and welcome 2026 with a side-splitting New Year's Eve Comedy Spectacular on Wednesday, December 31 at Murphy's Taproom & Carriage House, Bedford, NH.

Four of the best comedians in New England will share the stage, including top headliners Paul Nardizzi, Jim Colliton and Mitch Stinson and host Dan Donahue. It's a hilarious send-off to 2025 presented by Murphy's and Scamps Comedy Productions.

Tickets are $40 in advance, $50 (cash only) at the door. All seats are general admission. Showtime is 8:30 p.m. Patrons are invited to make reservations for dinner in the restaurant before the show.

Paul Nardizzi is one of the country's top comedians, with multiple standup appearances on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Comedy Central, and Fox Sports' Best Damn Sports Show Period, as well as regional appearances on NESN. A former winner of the Boston Comedy Festival, Nardizzi is in demand for theater shows, corporate functions, colleges, golf tournament, and fundraisers. He’s the creator and star of the Ranting Parents Comedy Tour, which has played in theaters around New England. His CD has been played on Sirius Satellite Radio and he’s a prolific author of humor books, including the hilarious Things That Might Annoy ... series, which pokes fun at Yankee fans, Jets fans, Republicans, and Democrats. He also wrote the hilarious 602 Reasons to be Ticked Off and The Sarcastic Sports Trivia Book.

Jim Colliton is a confused middle-aged man who can spin soccer games, school drop offs and lunches into his comedy material based around his life as a dad and husband. The Boston-based comedian has produced three critically acclaimed CDs, a DryBar Comedy special, and is a much-requested performer on cruise ships and corporate events all over the English-speaking world. Gushed one fan from Arizona, “I was just on the Royal Caribbean cruise and saw Jim perform and no joke, I was crying. That was easily the funniest comedy show I've ever been too!” His latest CD is The Ultimate Dad and his special is Please, Take the Lunch. He made his TV debut on Ed McMahon’s Next Big Star, and has since appeared on Comedy Central, NBC, Fox, and CBS.

Mitch Stinson is a former aircraft-carrier aviator for the United States Navy who, as a pilot, made over 200 carrier landings during a 10-year military career. He’s also become one of the top headliners in New England comedy, rising through the stand-up ranks by virtue of material that offers unique insight into the transition from hot-shot Navy pilot to everyday civilian life. His good-natured humor resonates with comedy crowds everywhere.

Man-mountain Dan Donahue is a blue-collar nerd who works in theaters around New England as the opener for Juston McKinney. He’s also shared the stage with Boston headliners such as Jimmy Dunn, Mike McDonald, Christine Hurley, Mike Donovan, Paul Nardizzi and Dave Rattigan. He has performed in the Hampton Beach (NH) Comedy Festival, and acted in the independent horror-comedy short film Mars Hill Bait & Tackle.
