Townie 

1 hour 11 minutes 

NORTH AMERICA PREMIERE

English

Townie is a documentary-style stand-up film that weaves live performance with reflective storytelling from iconic Boston comedian Steve Sweeney. Through humor, memory, and unfiltered honesty, Sweeney brings audiences inside the Charlestown of his youth—a working-class neighborhood defined by loyalty, character, and change. As he revisits the people and places that shaped him, Townie becomes more than a comedy special; it’s a heartfelt exploration of identity, belonging, and what it means to be from somewhere. Funny, poignant, and culturally specific yet deeply universal, Townie captures a voice that has shaped Boston comedy for decades and preserves a neighborhood that has all but disappeared.
