2017 FRIGID Festival Presents The Idaho Jackson Action Playset

The Cold War, The AIDS Crisis, random acts of violence, Satanism, nausea, sunstroke, caged animals, and The Wonderful World of Disney - These are the makings of childhood. Renowned storyteller Brad Lawrence makes comedy out of the shared national tragedy that was the Reagan era in this one man show about trying to make sense of the world when the only thing you know for sure is that you're no good at being a kid - which, so far, is your only job.

Brad Lawrence (Writer/Performer) was the first storyteller to win back-to back Moth GrandSLAMS and is regularly feature on the Moth MainSTAGE. His writing was most recently featured in McSweeney's. He is both a member and featured storyteller with the BTK Band and a regular at such shows as The Liar Show, Adam Wade's Super Stories, The Risk Podcast and How I Learned. In addition, his previous shows, "Monsters in The Wood" and "The Gospel of Sherilyn Fenn" have been presented around the country to critical acclaim.
