Sweeney's keen dialect and character skills have made him Boston's funniest comedian and a key figure on the city's cultural landscape. He's become a local legend, a status he lampooned in the 2018 film "Sweeney Killing Sweeney." Raised in hard-scrabble Charlestown, he has carried its influences with him through a career that's included nearly 25 films, national television appearances, radio hosting, and thousands of nights headlining Bostons best comedy clubs. He has been a featured on major television shows including David Letterman, Evening at the Improv, Comics Come Home and Comedy Central, and starred in his own Boston-based sitcom, Park Street Under. His trademark political satire has earned him top host spots on Boston radio stations 100.7FM WZLX (Sweeneys Neighborhood) and 95.9 FM WATD (Jay Mohr and Opie & Anthony.)
