Jamie Kennedy

Jamie Kennedy is indisputably one of the Nation's most legendary and exhilarating performance poets.  He is an unstoppably energetic, redheaded motor mouth who exploded onto The National Slam Poetry scene in 1999. With a lightning wit gripped in his charismatic
fist, Jamie quickly accrued country-wide notoriety, and continues to stun crowds with fearless physicality, verbal gymnastics, and his signature and savage blend of chaotic hysteria and poignant humanity.
Among Jamie's remarkable creations is the wildly infamous vaudeville series, "Tourettes Without Regrets."  Jamie hosts this award-winning subversive showcase and regularly features new vaudeville, freestyle battlers, freak show performers, filmed pranks, and slam poetry. His swashbuckling career also includes appearances on HBO (Def Poetry Jam), 60 Minutes, and NPR, KALX, KPFA, and Stanford Radio. He has taught and performed spoken word at more than 40 high schools, middle schools, and universities, and was the coach of a Championship Oakland High School Speech Team that will be featured in an upcoming
Lucasfilm documentary. Jamie Kennedy is one-third of The Suicide Kings, a spoken word performance troupe, and an eternally lovesick father to his daughter, Nadia. Honors, Awards, and Stagemates:
