Atsuko Okatsuka sets The Wilbur's table with 'The Big Bowl'

3 days ago | vanyaland.com | Jason Greenough

More often than not, we find ourselves with a little too much on our plate. But if you look at Atsuko Okatsuka, she’s thinking in the future and got herself a big ol’ bowl to carry all of her creative firepower. With a brand new show at the ready, the all-star comic is set to make her way back to Boston for a night at The Wilbur on October 17, as part of her Big Bowl tour.
Dropkick Murphys rise to the occasion with 'Who'll Stand With Us?'

3 days ago | vanyaland.com | Jason Greenough

It should be no surprise, at least for those who have listened to the Celtic punk chaos unleashed by Dropkick Murphys for the past 30 years, that they have been there every step of the way when it comes to standing with marginalized demographics and communities.
Josh Gondelman returns with new special 'Positive Reinforcement'

3 days ago | vanyaland.com | Jason Greenough

For as long as we’ve had the pleasure of knowing him, Josh Gondelman has been unwavering and impressive source of positivity within the comedy community. With his next project, he’s simply reinforcing that idea. As announced this week, we can finally get excited about more Gondelman content on the way as the all-star comedian will be releasing his sophomore special, Positive Reinforcement, on YouTube via Blonde Medicine on June 27.
The 'Shoresy' cast is bringing the Blueberry Bulldogs to TD Garden

5 days ago | vanyaland.com | Jason Greenough

After one hell of a raucous (and sold-out) time at Agganis Arena in 2024, the Shoresy boys are already itching to make their way back to Boston – and this time, it’s even bigger and badder than before.
More great RackaRacka horror

1 week ago | vanyaland.com | Nick Johnston

Kudos to Danny and Michael Phillipou, the YouTubers-turned-horror-hitmakers (hereby referred to by their channel name, RackaRacka, for brevity’s sake): despite what must have been immense pressure, they resisted the calls from producers and studio heads and didn’t jump ship to a mainstream franchise. They didn’t even shift their focus towards a specifically American story (even though they could have with those Aussie tax credits baked in). Why should they?
Ali Siddiq keeps on truckin' as he works 'In The Shadows'

1 week ago | vanyaland.com | Jason Greenough

If you were to ask Ali Siddiq, twenty-seven years ago, where he thought he’d be by the time he eclipsed 50, chances are his answer would’ve been much different than his current reality. But with an ever-evolving sense of self and an unwavering yearn to grow, the critically-acclaimed comedian has decades worth of perspective and experience behind him that has forged him into the person he is today – and he wants nothing more than to continue sharing more of that with the masses.
Echezona reaches out to neighbors and friends with new LP 'Ényì'

1 week ago | vanyaland.com | Victoria Wasylak

Depending on who you ask, the meaning of Echezona’s new record Ényì changes. A fan of the Boston artist might immediately recognize the title as an abbreviation of his community-forward mantra, “every neighbor yields impact.” To someone who speaks Igbo, though — like some members of the city’s Nigerian community — it literally translates to “friend.” But no matter how you interpret it, the record is a stamp of Echezona’s M.O. as a musician.

Pete Davidson gets scared stoopid in 'The Home' trailer

1 week ago | vanyaland.com | Nick Johnston

If there’s one thing Pete Davidson has above all else, it’s youthful, quirked-up white boy rizz. The only problem is that one day, that charisma’s gonna curdle — like all of us, he’s gonna get old, and then what? That’s the dilemma Davidson’s confronted with in James DeMonaco’s The Home, where Davidson stumbles across a private ward in a nursing home stocked to the gills with the scariest old folks you’ve seen on screen since you saw them dicks-out in an Ari Aster movie.
Josh Johnson just keeps adding shows to his sold-out Wilbur run

1 week ago | vanyaland.com | Jason Greenough

By no means are we complaining, but Josh Johnson just can’t stop selling out The Wilbur. So naturally, he’s adding another show to the impressive run. As announced today (May 29), Johnson has added a 10 p.m. show on September 4, marking his ninth show in an already sold-out run at The Wilbur which spans from September 3 to 7 to close out the summer.
