Comedy diva Stephanie Peters grew up in Cambridge, MA, idolizing local funnyman Lenny Clarke and his buddies Jay Leno, Denis Leary and Steven Wright. In just one year, Stephanie skyrocketed from playing tiny clubs in Boston’s suburbs to strutting her own brand of bawdiness in Leary’s “Comics Come Home” benefit, where she shared the limelight with Clarke, Wright and Jay Mohr. Peters then won the Marshall’s Women in Comedy festival, which crowned her one of the top “new” female comics in the country. She’s performed at such venues as the Berklee Performance Center, the Orpheum, the Wang and the Providence Center for the Performing Arts.
