Tingle campaign raising spirits, funds and awareness for the arts
Our Campaign heads to The New Center for the Arts in Newton, Mass this Thursday night to help raise spirits, funds and awareness for their great community center & theater.
That’s one big difference between the Tingle campaign and a conventional presidential campaign, we are helping to raise money for non profits and charities who are already doing great work. Even if I am not elected it’s already a Win/Win/Win !!!!
Check our calendar for other performance dates!
NPR interview on our film “Jimmy Tingle’s The American Dream”
Hi Folks
I just did this short radio interview with the NPR, Cape Cod and Islands, Radio station WCAI. He plays a clip of my mother talking about me starting off in comedy.
It was also a lot of fun talking to DJ Dan Trittle about our film playing this weekend on Martha’s Vineyard and going back to school at Kennedy School of Government after being away so long.
I told him in this interview I honestly didn’t know if I would be able to make it academically, especially after the first summer school test.
I’m in Statistics class on our first summer school exam and 45 minutes into the test the professor says “OK class we are approximately half way through the exam, you should be about halfway through the 20 test questions. I look at my paper and I’m on question 3. All I could think of was “what am I doing at Graduate School at Harvard?”
Thanks Everyone
Talk Soon

New Hampshire Film Festival and WGBH; A Great weekend for “American Dream”
Thanks to all of you who caught the film on PBS WGBH Boston last Saturday night and to all of you who came to the New Hampshire Film Festival last weekend.
We had a full house for the screening of the film in Portsmouth, NH and a great panel the following day with comedians and film makers from around the US. The panel consisted of myself, Tommy Chong, Juston McKinney, T.J. Miller, Jeff Tomsic, Adam Jones with Rae Dawn Chong moderating.
Got to meet and hang of with a comedy legend Tommy Chong of “Cheech and Chong” and his daughter Rae Dawn Chong who did a fantastic job moderating the panel discussion.
Tommy’s a great guy- really funny, extremely knowlable about the business of comedy and could not have been more complimenatary about our film.
He raved on and on about the film and about my live performance to the point where I wondered to myself “is the film that good or is this just the long terms effects of pot in action?”
Either way we’ll take the compliments and Tommy’s new friendship with it.
Thanks Tommy & Rae and all the Folks who put the NH Film Festival together- GREAT WORK and THANK YOU ALL for having us !
Below are some photos from the festival.
Thanks & Talk Soon
