*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
DEBUT ALBUM “STRAIGHT WHITE FAIL” BY TORONTO’S JARRETT CAMPBELL NOMINATED FOR 2020 JUNO AWARDS COMEDY ALBUM OF THE YEAR
[January 28, 2020 Toronto, ON] CBC’s Juno Nomination Press Conference just announced Jarrett Campbell as one of five Canadian comedians nominated for the 2020 Comedy Album of the Year. Originally from Maxwell, Ontario, Campbell is “honoured to be nominated alongside some other amazing talents.” A mentor, and last year’s winner in the same category, Dave Merheje says “Jarrett Campbell is one of the funniest people coming out of Canada.”
A mix of sharp, subversive material with a blue collar vibe, Cottage Comedy Producer Tyler Morrison describes Straight White Fail as “a blisteringly funny comedy album in celebration of self deprecation and mockery of small town debauchery.” The 15 track album provides its audience with unfiltered, working class humor through Campbell’s unique storytelling abilities and hilarious social commentary. Straight White Fail debuted on the iTunes Comedy charts at #1 and The Interrobang recently named the album “11 of the Best Canadian Comedy Albums of 2019.”
Jarrett Campbell stormed onto the Toronto comedy circuit almost 9 years ago and soon became one of the fastest rising talents in Canadian comedy. Earning early career appearances on MTV and NXNE quickly led to bigger opportunities. Career highlights include opening for Chris D’Elia & Theo Von, performing at Just For Laughs Montreal on the Jim Jefferies Gala and on Jeff Ross’ Roast Battle. Campbell tours with Yuk Yuks Comedy from New York to Vancouver, is a fan favorite at Toronto’s JFL 42 and the annual Cottage Country Comedy Festival in Muskoka. His work airs regularly on Comedy Network, CraveTV and SiriusXM Canada.
