About six months back Jacques saw this 15-year-old doing Dave Rattigan’s Winner Circle Mic. One of the best weekly mics in New England, stacked with headliners working out new stuff as well … as a 15-year-old comic?
That kid is Ethan Printz and his unpaid Uber driver to the show, his Dad, Robbie. Robbie for 30 plus years, one of the best headliners (and most liked by the comedy community) to come out of the famed late 80s/early90s Boston scene.
This was a super fun chat with a couple super fun comics.
Lots of kids go into the family business – Ethan is just starting early into the family business. Why not. He’s good at it and a bad night of telling jokes with your day and your friends (fellow comics) beats the best day of grinding away in a cubicle doing TPS reports.
Almost every weekend you can see Robbie and Ethan at the most beloved comedy spots in New England … get to a show of theirs asap.
