Saturday, Oct 19, 2024 7:00 PM
Jimmy chronicles his fascinating transition from a life as a seasoned comedian to a desire to enter into politics, for real this time. 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.”
Watch this 50-minute compilation of stand-up performance, historic footage and at-home interviews to remember the healing power of humor.
