surreal reflection. The story is a day in the life of Pete Still, a washed-up musician and failed influencer who hits rock bottom and survives a wild night in the desert, using technology he doesn’t understand,
speaking to an audience that doesn’t want to listen. Pete Still wants to win the fight for your eyes!
Featuring original songs, audience interaction, comedic sketches, and moments of raw
emotional honesty, Candid Campfire!!!!! is part musical, part stand-up, part group therapy... and
completely unforgettable.
