Artie Lang is a highly acclaimed stand-up comedian who is due to entertain a crowd of delighted fans with a show at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston.

He is noted for his very dark sense of humour, which has been refined over the course of a lengthy career on the live comedy circuit.

His big break came in 1995 when he starred in the first season of MADtv - although he has been performing onstage since 1987, when he was just 19 years old.

He will undoubtedly have audiences rolling in the aisles with his acerbic style - and entry starts at $39, going up to $56.70 for the best seats in the house.

Visitors to the city who are staying at the Millennium Bostonian Hotel Boston will find that they are merely a short, five-minute drive or taxi ride away from the venue where the evening's entertainment will be held.
