Edinburgh Preview: I Am Johnny

Written + Performed by Tessa ParrBoys, are you shirkin for a gherkin?Attempting openness while navigating the pressures of his troubled masculinity, Johnny finds himself off-piste in the world of spoken-word poetry.

I Am Johnny is an unsettlingly funny, absurd and politically sharp solo performance that dives head-first into fragile power dynamics, performative masculinity and ownership of the female body.

Blending surreal humour with piercing insight, this is a hilarious, raw and unforgettable interrogation of gender, class and the quiet expectations that sit beneath emotional exposure.
