Press Release: “Jimmy Tingle Live: No Mask!” at Cotuit Center for the Arts

Cotuit Center for the Arts is thrilled to welcome Cambridge native, veteran comedian, and past presidential candidate Jimmy Tingle back to our stage this June with the debut of “Jimmy Tingle Live: No Mask!” Premiering in a six-show residency over the course of two weeks at CCftA, this new one-man show from Jimmy Tingle weaves the good, the bad and the ugly of the pandemic with the humor, hope, and humanity the world so desperately craves. If laughter is the best medicine, then Jimmy Tingle is the Dr. Fauci of comedy.

Jimmy Tingle is a nationally recognized comedian, commentator, producer, actor, and the founder of Humor for Humanity, a new social enterprise which raises spirits, funds, and awareness for nonprofits through his work as a performer, emcee, and auctioneer.

He has worked as a humorist and commentator for “60 Minutes II” and MSNBC and has appeared on “The Tonight Show,” CNN, “Conan O’Brien,” “Fresh Air with Terry Gross,” and in his own HBO half-hour comedy special. In addition to his master’s degree from Harvard, he earned a Bachelor of Arts from UMASS Dartmouth where he majored in history and minored in education.

Tingle has the rare distinction of winning Boston Magazine’s “Best of Boston” awards for “stand-up comedy” and “best alternative theater” for his work as the producer and artistic director of Jimmy Tingle’s Off-Broadway Theater in Somerville.
