  • Origins and Goals
    In 2023, longtime Boston Comedy producer, promoter, and club owner, John Tobin decided to pursue the idea of celebrating greater Boston Comedy and local comedians annually. Tobin saw the need to create more opportunities for the comedy community to get together outside of shows and mics. The goal of the awards is to celebrate, highlight, and promote the many hardworking local comedians, staff, podcasts, and anything comedy-related, in a fun and friendly way! John Tobin Presents hopes to grow this into a staple annual event that shines a spotlight on the bustling Boston and New England comedy scene to industry members and comedy fans nationwide. We take great pride in how funny New England comedians are and want to put them on the pedestal they deserve. In future years we will look to expand the awards with more categories, nominees, and fun!
  • Is there a dress code?

  • What are the BCCAs?

  • Who is invited to attend?
