Born in Charlestown, Steve Sweeney is a legendary Boston comedian known as a master of dialects and character voices. With his famous Boston accent and great insight into human nature, Steve is so thoroughly Bostonian that he merits his own stop on the MBTA Green Line.

Steve learned his craft at the world famous Ding Ho Comedy Club, where he performed with Lenny Clarke, Denis Leary, Jay Leno and others. Well-rounded and seasoned, Steve has kept audiences laughing for years. He won his status, the old-fashioned way he earned it!

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.

Steves trademark political satire has earned him top host spots on Boston radio stations 100.7FM WZLX (Sweeneys Neighborhood) and 95.9FM WATD (Jay Mohr and Opie & Anthony.) In addition, Steve is an elite Master of Ceremonies selected by many charitable and political organizations (of both parties, but separately, of course!)

Steve is a successful actor and has appeared in many Hollywood films, which include: The Forger [2014], The Equalizer [2014], Me, Myself & Irene [2000], Theres Something About Mary [1998], Next Stop Wonderland [1998], Southie [1998], Celtic Pride [1996] and Back to School [1986].

Steve lives just outside his hometown of Boston and when not working loves to spend quiet time with his dog and friends.
