Metal Show Host Brings Rock & Jokes to Ohio

Comedian Don Jamieson, formerly a host on VH1 Classic's 'That Metal Show,' is scheduled to perform standup in Massillon, Ohio, on June 19 and 20 at Krackpots Comedy Club. Jamieson, a New Jersey native, has built a career by blending his passion for rock music and comedy. He likens both genres to being 'a little bit dangerous,' suggesting they lose their edge if embraced by parents.

'That Metal Show,' which aired from 2008 to 2015, cultivated a dedicated fanbase by featuring conversations with rock stars and the hosts' relatable camaraderie. Fans continue to express interest in a potential revival of the program, with Jamieson noting online activity and a new generation discovering the show. He is also preparing to release another comedy album this fall.

Jamieson cites Andrew Dice Clay as a significant influence, crediting him with inspiring his own desire to perform. His comedy material spans personal anecdotes, observations on current events, and, of course, his love for music. He views his style as 'a big mix of everything,' reflecting his diverse influences and experiences on stage.
