The Woods Hole Film Festival presents Jimmy Tingle: Why Would a Comedian Run for Office? as part of its Dinner & a Movie Series. Doors open at 6:30 PM. After the screening, Jimmy Tingle will engage the audience in a talkback and a live comedy performance.

In 2018, comedian Jimmy Tingle ran for lieutenant governor of Massachusetts. As a first-time candidate for public office, he received 41% of the vote in the primary. Based on his experience running for public office, he developed a stage show that he recorded at Harvard’s Sanders Theater in February 2020. The show illuminated his campaign with passion, purpose and a sense of humor. During the Covid lockdown he turned the stage show into a political humor documentary.

Tickets: General admission, $20; Members, $16; Students/Military, $10. HERE.
