I remember getting his documentary Call Me Lucky when it first came out. Highly recommend it.

Barry Crimmins is a Boston comedy legend. The Ding Ho and Stitches…his comedy clubs.

Barely a month after revealing he'd been diagnosed with cancer, comedian Barry Crimmins has died. Crimmins's wife, Helen, who's battling stage four non-Hodgkins lymphoma herself, shared the sad news on Twitter early Thursday morning. "Helen here with sad news ... Barry passed peacefully yesterday with Bobcat and I," she wrote, referring to comedian Bobcat Goldthwait.
