Jim Stowell landed in my pre-Fringe Top 20 back in 2018 on the strength of all the past work I’d seen him do as a storyteller, first as a stage manager who had to watch him tell the same story night after night and yet somehow never got bored. I’ve followed his work since shifting my theater roles to being a playwright and theater blogger and thoroughly enjoyed his last 5-star Fringe outing. Looking forward to another hour of compelling stories both light and dark. (His bio is epic if you need more convincing :)

Comedy, death and magic in our National Parks.
