It appears there’s nothing off limits for comedian Kevin Meaney: his failed marriage, his adolescent daughter and even his mother, who is the source of some of his zaniest, most well-known lines.  Meaney, who acted alongside Tom Hanks in the film “Big” and starred in the TV series “Uncle Buck” based on the film of the same name, will bring his bag of comic tricks to the stage of B.M.C. Durfee High School.

After a successful appearance on an HBO special in 1986, Meaney made his debut on Carson’s show in 1987 and has appeared on the “Tonight Show” numerous times as well as appearing on “Oprah”, the “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.”

Meaney also wrote, produced and starred in a one-person play, “Wedding Vows in Vegas,” about a real-life experience of meeting and marrying a woman on the same day. That marriage was eventually annulled. Steve Martin said the show, which ran at the Hasty Pudding Theatre in Boston for one summer, was, “The most innovative, heart-rending and funny show I’ve seen in a long, long, time.”

His most transformative appearance, he said, was performing as Edna in the Broadway production of  “Hairspray".

The Kevin Meaney show at Durfee High School’s senior night  is open to the public. Tickets cost $5 and may be purchased at the door or by calling 508-675-8100, Ext. 1173.
