Lenny Clarke was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, one of eight children. He decided to pursue standup comedy one night when he was working as a janitor, putting himself through college at University of Massachusetts/Boston. That night he went to the Ding-Ho Restaurant in Cambridge and saw some comics performing. Convinced he could do the same thing, he returned the next week and — "The rest, as they say, is history!," he exclaims.
Clarke spent several years as the regular host of open-mike nights there and has since traveled the world as a standup. His gifted comedic abilities captured the attention of the legendary Rodney Dangerfield who gave Clarke his first big break on TV, casting him on the HBO special, "Nothin' Goes Right," in 1988. He and Dangerfield also worked together years later on "Meet Wally Sparks."
After years of hard work, Clarke was "discovered" at The Montreal Comedy Festival. His TV work includes the eponymous "Lenny," which ran for 18 episodes, four-plus years on "The John Larroquette Show," "The Job," hosting FOX's "The Sunday Comics" and guest appearances on "Touched by an Angel," "Love Boat: The Next Wave," and numerous appearances on Comedy Central.
Clarke's feature films include "Stuck on You," "Just Another Story," "Moonlight Mile," "What's the Worst That Could Happen?," "Me, Myself and Irene," "Rounders," "There's Something About Mary," "Two if by Sea," "Southie," "Massholes" and the independent film "Bluff."
