See Jimmy Tingle Live (and On Film) At Jaffrey's Park Theatre

Jimmy Tingle is a stand-up comedian, filmmaker, and politician(!) from Boston. In The “Radical” Middle — Why Would a Comedian Run for Office? Jimmy applies his distinctive Boston brand of humor to solve some of America’s most complex problems. Jimmy brings his documentary film, Q&A, and timely humor to The Park Theatre in Jaffrey, NH on  Saturday, October 19, at 7:00pm.

In this original and autobiographical film, Jimmy chronicles his fascinating transition from a life as a seasoned comedian to a desire to enter politics, for real this time! He challenges audiences to move beyond the politics of tweets, sound bites, and the nightly — or hourly — news cycle, and into the realm of long-term thinking and life-affirming possibility, as the United States faces the election of 2024 with a myriad of emotions, passions and theories.

Through the lens of common sense, comedy, commentary and conversation, Jimmy aspires to contribute to the national dialogue in a hopeful, positive — and funny — way as America strives to create, in the words of Abraham Lincoln: “a more perfect union.” Jimmy’s ingenuity and deep compassion provide a much-needed and thought-provoking antidote to the politics of our day.

Jimmy Tingle is a regular commentator on WBZ and has appeared on HBO, 60 Minutes, NPR, CNN, and PBS.

Watch this 50-minute compilation of stand-up performance, historic footage and at-home interviews to remember the healing power of humor; and it just might help you get to the polls in November. Also includes a Q&A session with Jimmy after a brief stand-up routine.
