Tech - Jakob Baumgartner
Hi, I’m Jakob B. I’m 24, single, good with my hands (technically… literally), and have been known to fall in love with a well-organised lighting desk.
…Oh. Wrong bio?
Too late. We’re committing.
Jakob has been lurking around Bundaberg’s theatre community since he was old enough to plug things in and not electrocute himself. He’s a longtime friend of Drama Queens and many of its members, which is convenient because half of them have tried to set him up at some point.
After spending years at the Moncrieff Entertainment Centre—where he developed a reputation for being reliable, talented, and weirdly calm in chaotic situations—Jakob moved to Brisbane to work in casino entertainment. Yes, he deals with high-stakes environments daily. No, sadly, this has not improved his luck in the dating department.
Despite living in the big city, Jakob regularly returns to Bundaberg to help Drama Queens with special projects, mostly because they ask nicely… and also because free food.
He is proud to support the region that raised him, the creatives who tolerate him, and any future partner who enjoys long walks backstage, soft glows of LED wash lights, and someone who can fix absolutely anything except his own love life.
