One of the nation’s most popular political humorists, Tingle is the master of the good-natured, bi-partisan jab. Moving behind the headlines to uncover the bizarre truths of the American political system, he sheds new light on the absurdities that cross party lines. He offers a fresh look at the world—and challenges audiences to open their eyes to the humor embedded in their daily lives. Why does bottled water have an expiration date? Why do they say consumer confidence is down when confidence isn’t lacking—money is!
