Sun. Nov. 19 Does Jimmy Tingle find somethng amusing about the construction of a bioterror lab in Boston's medical district funny? Well, maybe not in the traditional sense of "funny," but in the sense of Tingle's politically-active comedy, he probably does. He's billing the Sunday Nov. 19 gig at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway as "The Knightly Show, hosted by Jimmy Tingle: "Boston Goes Buggy" provides An Evening to Laugh and Learn About the B.U. Biolab." Whew. Tingle promises entertaining edification as he interviews state rep Gloria Fox, wh opposed the lab, and Klare X. Allen, Coordinator of the Safety Net, a Roxbury Environmental Justice community. Also: The Raging Grannies of the International League for Peace and Freedom will sing protest songs and there will be a short video featuring government scientists speaking about the Biolab issue. Says Tingle: "I look forward to using all of my freshest Biolab Terror evacuation material; as opposed to all my older Biolab evacuation material." Runs from 6-9 p.m. Tickets: $20. 255 Elm St., Davis Square, Somerville, 617-591-1616 jtoffbroadway.com
