Chelsea Fitzgerald is the undisputed fan favorite of Boston.com readers.
Her account, a mix of Massachusetts-based humor and restaurant skits have won her many local fans and over 150,000 followers.
“She is hilarious and portrays characters worthy of SNL. She has original content everyday that is so funny and very relatable. However, she also is sober and is very vocal about her addiction and helping others in their recovery. She does weekly sober lives answering questions and giving advice to those still struggling. Talk about using her platform for good!”
– Nate K., Cape Cod
“She creates hilarious skits regarding the restaurant industry with the added twist of Cape humor. She hits the mark with each character, because anyone who has ever worked in the industry has met at least one of them.”
– Beth L., Webster
“She is extremely funny. Then on top of that she is a great advocate for her sobriety and telling her story to help others.”
– Christina C., Worcester
“Chelsea understands the heart of what it means to be from New England. She’s funny but not mean. She’s real and raw. She mixes comedy about restaurant work and family with deep discussions about addiction and her sobriety. She is the best Boston area tiktoker hands down. Go visit her at the Lobster Clam Lighthouse Shanty Sea Shack. Be sure to ask for Rachel.”
