The New CA-THAH-TIC Political Comedy Show by the “Best of Boston”
Stand-Up and Former Statewide Political Candidate Boston’s most
famous political comedian, and the winner of Boston Magazine’s
“Best of Boston, Stand-Up Comedy”, Jimmy Tingle was also a serious
political candidate in 2018, running for Lieutenant Governor of
Massachusetts. Why would a comedian run for office? What did he learn
to help us keep our sanity through the 2020 election? Jimmy Tingle’s
20/20 Vision is more than a hilarious comedy show that’s uniquely
Boston and brought the audience at the Wilbur Theatre cheering to its
feet in December. It’s mental therapy for anyone, of any political
view, who needs relief from Twitter and the 24-hour news cycle. With
passion, purpose, and on-stage antics, accent, Jimmy recounts the
side-splitting tale of diving into the deep end with his 2018
statewide political run, but then transforming, learning, and
surviving – with a message for us all. Through comedy and
commentary, Jimmy challenges his audience to think, and then leads
them towards hope and positivity at the start of a year when we’ll
surely need it. Jimmy Tingle doesn’t just pose questions. He gives
the answers – both insightfully real and comically surreal. He
reassures us that, Hey! Maybe as a nation we’re going to be okay.
Jimmy has plans to tour the show nationally this election year, so see
it now in Boston while you can! “Mr. Tingle brings so much energy
and personal warmth to this nonstop performance that one comes away
from it strangely uplifted. He reveals often mortifying absurdities in
virtually everything that comes to his attention… Yet he is so
cheerfully intelligent that he makes his audience optimistic in the
face of appalling reality.”— The New York Times
