Somerville News article on Tingle's closing

“It’s been a dynamite 5 years,” said Tingle, a stand up comedian and the theater’s owner, artistic director, producer and principal performer. “But after 5 years, it got to be too much work and responsibility for me. I was losing the time I need to write, to perform, to sleep. I decided at the last minute not to renew the lease.”

Lots of quotes from Alderman Jack Connolly, too.
