Jimmy chronicles his fascinating transition from a life as a seasoned comedian to a desire to enter into politics, for real this time. The event is both a live viewing of the film followed by a live Q&A with Jimmy.
He applies his distinctive Boston brand of humor to solve some of America’s most complex problems.
This original and autobiographical film challenges audiences to move beyond the politics of tweets, sound bites, and the nightly — or hourly — news cycle… and into the realm of long-term thinking and life-affirming possibility, as the United States faces the election of 2024 with a myriad of emotions, passions and theories.
Through the lens of common sense, comedy, commentary and conversation, Jimmy aspires to contribute to the national dialogue in a hopeful, positive — and funny — way as America strives to create, in the words of Abraham Lincoln: “a more perfect union.”
Jimmy’s ingenuity and deep compassion provide a much-needed and thought-provoking antidote to the politics of our day.
Watch this 50-minute compilation of stand-up performance, historic footage and at-home interviews to remember the healing power of humor; and it just might help you get to the polls in November.
Doors 8pm; Show starts at 8.15pm
Quotes and Reviews
“Excellent! Hilarious! Very meaningful and laugh-out-loud funny!”

— Paula Poundstone, comedian
“Government Matters! That’s why a comedian runs for office. Jimmy Tingle, with humor and cracking wit, uses common sense to protect the common good from those who would tear down its essential political structures. No Joke. This is Tingle at his best.”
– James Carroll, Author, Columnist
“Interspersing the classic stand-up format with film clips from around the world and personal asides…
…this film is a big winner.”
– Ira Wood, Producer/Host, The Lowdown, WOMR-FM

About John Achkar
John Achkar is a prominent Lebanese stand-up comedian and entrepreneur.

John has released multiple one-hour comedy specials, including:

Soon he was booked at bars, clubs, and colleges (but mostly bars) all over New England.
Nick spent 3 years in Phoenix, AZ where he became a frequent feature act for the Tempe Improv and Stand Up Live. Opening for national headliners such as Rachel Feinstein, Josh Blue, and Nate Bargatze, Nick paid the rent with comedy ONE TIME and became addicted to chasing the dream!
In 2017, Nick won a roast competition called Snap Battles at the Tempe Improv. He would go on to get hired as Roast Master for a private event honoring the Senior Vice President of the Phoenix Suns!
Since moving back to the East coast, Nick has hit the road headlining clubs all the way from San Diego, CA to sold out crowds back home in New England. Working on comedy full-time inspired his podcast Should You Quit Your Job? where Nick and co-host Jake Klark interview guests who are working a day job while chasing a dream to help them decide if they’re ready to make their dreams reality.
