While putting himself through college at UMASS Boston by working as a janitor, he and his friends visited an open mic comedy night at the Ding Ho Restaurant in Cambridge and was convinced he could do the same thing. Clarke returned the next week, and famously says the crowd reaction is the second best feeling in the world. The rest they say is history. By the mid 1980’s Lenny had become one of the most famous comics from Boston, working alongside Sam Kinison, Denis Leary, Don Gavin and Steve Sweeney touring the country. The DVD release of When Standup Stood Out in 2006 details Clarke’s early career and the affiliations with other famous Boston Comics.
