Jake in the Box

Photos from Friday evening during my show at the Amherstburg Uncommon Festival!

Because of some wet weather Friday’s show ended up being my only show out on the street at the festivals main stage and it was a successful one of firsts! New jokes, new routines and new volunteer moments all wrapped up into a hooping and comedy show full of heart!
