Rick Jenkins: Profiles from the Quiet-D Illustrations

Rick Jenkins, 2011. By Travis Simpkins

     On Quiet Desperation, Rick Jenkins essentially plays himself (with a few twists) as owner/operator of The Comedy Studio in Cambridge, MA. The frustration he faces with getting the comedians to watch their time is equalled by his shady dealings with Tom Dustin.

Quiet-D Episode Thirteen: "The Comedy Studio"

     In real life, Rick's presence at The Comedy Studio has been an integral part of Boston comedy since the 1990s. "The Comedy Studio in Harvard Square has cemented its reputation as the area's top laugh lab. It's also earned a solid reputation among industry heavyweights as a "must-visit" club for anyone seeking cutting-edge performers or writers for future television projects. The Comedy Studio - no better breeding ground around."

-Dean Johnson, Boston Herald, 12.01
