Jimmy Tingle is a hilarious comedian, a political satirist, a story-teller, and he got 41% of the vote in the last election for MA Lieutenant Governor.
He’s working on a new show and next Thursday, Dec 27, 7:30PM he’ll be trying it out on the Newton Nomadic Theater audience at Gregorian Rugs. .
Tingle has worked as a humorist and commentator for 60 Minutes II and MSNBC and has appeared on The Tonight Show, CNN, Conan O’Brien, Fresh Air with Terry Gross and in his own HBO half-hour comedy special.
Theatrical credits include writing, performing and producing four one-person shows. He also wrote and produced the documentary film, Jimmy Tingle’s American Dream, which aired on over 60 stations nationwide on PBS.
Tingle has the rare distinction of winning Boston Magazine’s “Best of Boston” in the stand-up comedy category and for “best alternative theater” as the producer and artistic director of Jimmy Tingle’s OFF BROADWAY Theater in Somerville
Whew! That’s a new record for our theater. Sold out in not much more than an hour.
Damn it. I’ll be in Bermuda. Jimmy’s got a great Trump segment in his latest act. I heard part of it a week ago and it had me in stitches.
Dang! I wanted to go. Jimmy gave an amazing speech at the Democratic State Convention in June – hilarious but also included an important message. The best speech of the day in my book.
Bob B., oooooooh, so edgy and brave of Jimmy Tingle to joke about Trump.
No Jim. I think it would be more accurate to say how “easy” it is to do so. If we don’t laugh,. we will most certainly cry.
Bob B., that’s my point, if it’s so ‘easy’, it’s not edgy or brave — and certainly not funny (except to those afflicted with TDS).
