So, let’s just address the elephant in the room when it comes to Jamie Dewolf:

It’s an open secret that while he is a vocal opponent of Scientology, he is indeed the great grandson of the notorious L. Ron Hubbard. And much like his forebear, he’s a dangerously charismatic redhead who has amassed a cult of devoted followers. However, Jamie has used his powers for good not ill, building a successful career as a writer, performer, and filmmaker. He’s written and performed with inmates at San Quentin Penitentiary, won “Performance of the Year” by NPR’s Snap Judgment, was voted “Best Poet” and “Best Filmmaker” from the East Bay Express, and has lead writing workshops at over 90 universities, high schools and juvenile detention facilities nation-wide. As one of the most in demand hosts in the Bay Area and beyond, he’s a regular ringmaster and curator for circus troupes, vaudeville showcases and music festivals across the U.S., and has produced and hosted the variety show Tourettes Without Regrets, now known as The Rumpus and Ruckus Revival, for over twenty years. 

We've been friends since we used to smoke cigarettes in cemeteries as teenagers, and Jamie allowed me to do a deep dive into his sordid romantic past. Some highlights include:

-How Jamie's worst date ever almost ended in death and dismemberment

-Why every Scorpio has a scorpion tattoo

-Being haunted by "ghost groupies" 

-Jamie's problematic crush on Ivanka Trump

...and much more
