Big Dad Energy at the Atlanta Fringe Festival

Critically-acclaimed comedian Jamie Campbell is standing on the other side of 40 and realizing fatherhood may not be in the cards for him.  In his award-winning solo stand-up show, chock-full of references that will strike a chord with any Gen-Xer approaching middle age,  Campbell brings big laughs and isn’t afraid to be vulnerable as he discusses how his life didn’t turn out exactly how he thought it would.

In an award-winning show that combines stand-up, storytelling, and a touch of musical comedy, nationally touring comic Jamie Campbell leaps into what it’s like to get married in your 40s and realize parenthood isn’t going to happen. Like a proud father, he discusses why he is impressed with the younger generation. He recalls the days when teachers were allowed to spank students, dishes on the time he took acid at Disney World, and reveals how to make women happy (hint: it’s pockets.)
