Midnight Baby is a stand-up comedy experience performed by comedian Justin Shaw. In this hour-long performance, Shaw shares a collection of ridiculous (and painfully true) stories from his adolescence and how they shaped his worldview.
This one-person show has been featured in the Hamilton Fringe, the Halifax Fringe, Staircase Theatre, and premiered as a theatre production presented by Desert Island Theatre Co. at Kings Playhouse and Harmony House Theatre.

Charles is a discontent English teacher whose wanderlust is only matched by his deep-seated love for professional wrestling. After a life-altering decision to chase his dream of becoming a pro-wrestler, Charles finally steps out of his comfort zone, and into the great unknown.

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 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.
