Jamie Campbell

I'm easy to prepare for - I just need a microphone and a stage.

In advance of any performance, I schedule a phone consultation with the client, so that I can customize my act to the event. It's important to me that each performance is as unique as my audience. My content is generally rated PG-13. I avoid foul language and graphic content, but do have some drug references and mild sexual innuendo, so my performances are NOT for children.

One of my strengths as a performer is audience interaction in the moment. In many of my private performances, I ask audience members to write down topics on a note card and drop them in a bucket. During the show, I pull those topics out of the bucket and riff on whatever the audience has written down. This allows me to give every audience a unique show that is just for them.

Many private events serve dinner. I do ask that food NOT be served during my performance and that the room is designed so that all of the chairs in the audience are facing the performance area. I want to deliver an unforgettable experience, and I've found that I can do that much better if the audience isn't distracted by a meal being served.

You may recognize Jamie from his appearances in numerous commercials or his film and television work, which includes NBC's Chicago Fire and Pop TV's Hollywood Darlings, and a starring role in the cult favorite webseries Lunch and Learn. He has shared the stage or worked on projects with countless legendary names in comedy and entertainment, including Hannibal Buress, Cameron Esposito, Oscar Isaac, Chris Redd, Scott Adsit, Ty Burrell, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Alicia Keys, Tech N9ne, and Dana Carvey.

Ideally, the performance area is brighter than the audience, but if that's not possible, I am flexible.

I need a hand-held microphone and mic stand. I prefer a wireless mic whenever possible. Microphones that are attached to podiums will not work.
