A Paper Orchestra

The Emmy-nominated screenwriter of King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-Head, Just Shoot Me, Wilfred and Rules of Engagement is coming to Edinburgh! In his critically acclaimed one-man show, writer/performer Michael Jamin asks: What if the smallest, almost forgotten moments were the ones that shaped us most? Audaciously funny yet achingly poignant, A Paper Orchestra will change the way you think about life. Perfect for fans of David Sedaris and Mike Birbiglia. Based on the best-seller, which Vulture.com named Best Comedy Books of 2024.

“Good lord, how it made me feel happy, sad, and connected all at once… If one defines comedy as making sense of life and getting a visceral reaction out of its reader, it’s a triumph.”

—Vulture, Best Comedy Books of 2024

“As one of the head writers for my tv show Maron, Michael Jamin was essential in helping me portray myself honestly. I’m very happy and impressed that he was able to apply his craft to himself. It’s not easy to put your authentic you out there. Michael did a beautiful job of it with A Paper Orchestra.”

—Marc Maron

“Fantastic… It’s multi-timbral. It runs all levels of the pyramid at the same time. His knockout punches are stinging sincerity.”

-John Mayer
