All of the comedians who will be onstage at Saturday’s “Comics Come Home” show have been there before. These are some personal highlights from previous performances:

Lenny Clarke

“Comics Come Home II,” 1996

Clarke rushed straight from his acting gig on “The John Larroquette Show” to the airport without changing into street clothes. He was dressed as a police officer and had to give up his prop pistol at security. He picked up a water pistol instead. Due to some weight gain, Denis Leary didn’t recognize Clarke at first when he got to the Orpheum Theatre. “So I was a big, fat, sweaty cop with a water pistol for a gun, and he goes, ‘Are you out of your mind? Are you going on like that?’ And I said, ‘I don’t have any other clothes!’ ”

Also on the bill that year: Bill Burr, Louis C.K., Dave Chappelle, Anthony Clark, Nick DiPaolo, Steven Wright, Colin Quinn, Eddie Brill, Jackie Flynn, Steve Sweeney, Kenny Rogerson
