What the press said…

“Johnston has brilliantly observed the smoke-screens, the get-out clauses, the evasions and multiple ironies of the form.” Helen Meany, The Guardian

“Johnston’s provocative work, immaculately directed by Jimmy Fay.” Irish Times

“…while being extremely, darkly funny at times, it’s anything but comic. This is a detached and intellectual, examination of why we want to be entertained, and more importantly, how we survive tragedy without giving way to despair.” Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent

“…provoking…unpredictable…successfully walks the dangerous line between sentiment and outrage.” In Dublin Magazine

Blurb

As comedians have permission to say the things we’re all thinking. Alex Johnston’s character took audience through a complex journey of the political and the very personal; a play to deconstruct  stand-up comedy and take a much-needed look at modern society. Entertainment is a stand-up routine gone off the rails, it is certain to make you laugh your socks off!
