Pack a late lunch/early dinner, beverages of your choice, and be prepared to be entertained in many, many ways with laughter, tears, insight, logic and more tears because you’re laughing so hard. Tickets are $18 members; $20 advance purchase; $25 non-member; $30 at the door, and are available by calling (978) 692-6333 or online at pcawestford.org.

Tingle has the rare distinction of winning the prestigious “Best of Boston” award as both a performer in the “stand up comedy” category and as a producer for Jimmy Tingle’s OFF BROADWAY Theater. His "The Education of an American Comic" received stellar reviews during a 9-week engagement at the American Place Theater in New York City and continued to succeed brilliantly at the Hasty Pudding Theater in Cambridge, becoming the longest running one person show in that theater's history. The show was also nominated by The L.A. Weekly for "best male solo performance" in their 20th Annual Theater Awards. Jimmy is also known for his "Uncommon Sense," "Jimmy Tingle in the Promised Land" and "Jimmy Tingle’s American Dream."

Tingle was the American correspondent for David Frost’s show for PBS and the BBC, “The Strategic Humor Initiative.” He completed two seasons as the humorist/commentator with “60 Minutes II” on CBS, worked as a contributor and satirist for MSNBC, and has appeared on “Tough Crowd” with Colin Quinn, “The Tonight Show,” “Larry King's Weekend,” “Late Night with Conan O'Brien,” “The Late Late Show” with Tom Snyder, The American Comedy Awards, as well as his own HBO comedy special.

In October 2017, Tingle announced that he would run for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. In the Democratic primary election in 2018, Tingle was defeated, but his expansive career has given Jimmy no shortage of material to share, much of which leaving audiences holding their sides.
