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

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.

He always had love for stand up comedy as a kid. And would secretly write jokes periodically in his notebooks over the years. He decided to give stand-up a shot in 2009 after watching various comedy shows in Boston and thinking to himself “these guys suck I’m at least better then that.” After his first time in stage he was hooked and hasn’t stopped since. He started carving out a lane for himself on the Boston comedy scene and quickly rose up the ranks with his hard hitting brutal honesty that some how makes us all feel not that different from each other .
