Jamie Brickhouse - Northeast Storytelling

Jamie Brickhouse is a 4-time Moth StorySLAM champion, National Storytelling Network Grand Slam champion and has appeared on PBS-TV's "Stories from the Stage," and "The Moth Podcast."

He performs two multiple award-winning storytelling solo shows: "Dangerous When Wet: Booze, Sex, and My Mother" based on his critically-acclaimed memoir; and "I Favor My Daddy." Jamie tells darkly-comic, deeply personal stories about family, LGBTQ+ issues, addiction/recovery, and child-parent relations with universal appeal. Are they cathartic for him? “Yes,” says Jamie, “but my catharsis is not the point. Creating an emotional experience in the audience is why I tell stories.”

Jamie has also recorded voices on "Beavis and Butthead," is a Literary Death Match champ, has been featured multiple times on both the stages and national podcasts of "Kevin Allison’s Risk!" and "Story Collider," is a fixture on the storytelling circuit in the New York City Metro Area, and has performed across the country, as well as in Mexico and Canada. His personal essays have been published in the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Washington Post, Daily Beast, Salon, Out, Huffington Post, and Publishers Weekly.
