and professional comedian Amy O’Hara will take the stage for her first Boston appearance Saturday night at Nick’s Comedy Stop. O’Hara has been working hard in preparation for her Boston gig, performing regularly at Open Mic Nights in the area. She credits her parents, the late Edward O’Hara, a Massachusetts State Trooper, and Peggy O’Hara, for setting an early foundation in comedy with their wittiness and story-telling talent. O’Hara retired from the Revere Police Department in May, 2025, following a distinguished 34-year career in law enforcement. O’Hara will compete in the South Shore Comedy Clash on Aug. 16 at Steve Sweeney’s Comedy Den in Quincy.
