Justin Shaw

Midnight baby

A show about Shaw's journey to accepting himself, accepting change, and that the horrors of middle school are just a fact of life.

MIDNIGHT BABY is a collection of ridiculous (and painfully true) stories from Shaw's adolescence and how they shaped his worldview, and will be available on Shaw's debut album HUMAN MONEY.

Spare Change

In this hour long comedy presentation, Justin Shaw takes his audience on a mad-cap journey on what it means to let go admit that they have no idea what they are doing, while challenging what it really means to listen and be present with someone in need.

This one-time performance was part of a Spare Change: An Evening of Comedy held on April 4, 2018 at the Keyano Recital Theatre. This event was a fundraiser presented by Some Other Solutions, a mental health and crisis prevention non-profit located in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Funding for this event was made possible by Suncor Energy.
