“Jonny Donahoe’s intimate, funny and heartbreaking confessional family drama … a Christmas story with a heart and a real twist”

Mark Shenton in The Stage on 30 Christmases

 

“Jonny Donahoe is smart, endearingly charming, unfailingly polite and genuinely engaged by his subject. Hardly like a stand-up comic at all. This is a lovely hour from a lovely man.”
