An Evening of Comedy, Commentary, and Conversation on Jan. 3 2015 at Harvard's Sanders Theatre

CAMBRIDGE , MASSACHUSETT , UNITED STATES, December 13, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jimmy Tingle’s post-Holiday shows have become a tradition for those who enjoy a dose of liberal humor with their news and politics. This year, Jimmy Tingle returns home to Cambridge on Saturday, January 3, 2015 (8pm), Sanders Memorial Theatre at Harvard University, with his takes on 2014 and more. From a new Pope and legal pot, to missing planes and midterm elections, Humor for Humanity - An Evening of Comedy, Commentary and Conversation will make you laugh, may make you think, but definitely make you grateful to have made it through the year.

Tickets are $30 -$45* (*"Mingle with Tingle") and available at Harvard University Box Office (617) 496-2222 or https://www.boxoffice.harvard.edu/. Tickets are available in-person at the Harvard Box Office without paying ticketing fees.

Ever since Johnny Carson first introduced Jimmy Tingle on the Tonight Show in 1988, long before Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert or Louis CK, he has remained a “stand out in stand up”, specializing in political humor and social commentary. For years, Boston comedy and theater fans have known what Jimmy Tingle does—with Humor for Humanity, he hopes to expand his comedic footprint and show audiences a glimpse of why he does it.

After earning a Masters degree from the Kennedy School of Government in 2010—and giving one of the funniest and most original commencement addresses in Harvard’s 378 year history—Tingle has decided to go global.

Humor for Humanity aspires to be more than just a one-night show. The Sanders Theater event will also serve as the rollout of Jimmy's newest social enterprise and business idea and service: Jimmy Tingle’s Humor for Humanity—More than Entertainment! Tingle explains “Our mission is to use comedy, commentary and conversation through social media, radio, television and live events to raise spirits, funds and awareness for non profits, charities and social causes. Our Mission is Their Mission”.

“We aspire to be of service to many worthy causes and organizations that need support, and create meaningful win/win/win relationships. says Tingle. “Yes, we know humor entertains, but it does so much more. Through this new enterprise, we want to show that humor can help, humor can heal, and above all, humor offers hope and can help make meaningful change in the world.” Humor for Humanity! Humor and Helping, Humor and Healing, Humor and Hope- HaH! HaH! HaH! HaH! (Click here to listen to the premiere podcast episode.)
