“…a thoughtful meditation on the way we narrate our lives, and the flaws of memory.” – Winnipeg Free Press

UF Peforming Arts in partnership with the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere invites you to TJ Dawe’s “Burn Job.”

Punctuated with music tracks and manipulated sounds created live on stage, Fringe legend and master monologist TJ Dawe tells a story about growing up, blowing things up, LSD, and a breathing technique that brings you into a psychedelic state.

“Burn Job is another impressive achievement in Dawe’s ongoing search for himself. Dawe’s stories are exquisitely crafted, whether they’re primarily funny or informative (I learned a lot about Anthony Burgess), and his perspectives on both youthful folly and adult self-deception are smart, nuanced, and generous. If you’ve ever had to revise your idea of who you are (and who hasn’t?), you’ll relate.” – The Georgia Straight
