About Andrea Coleman
3 White Guys Named John is a comedy and storytelling solo show by Andrea Coleman, performed at Playground 1 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Andrea Coleman is an American Black woman from the South. At major turning points in her life, when she is paralysed with fear, three very unlikely figures have appeared to give her inspiration and courage: filmmaker John Hughes, musician John Mayer, and rock star Jon Bon Jovi. A heartwarming, life-affirming mix of comedy and storytelling about three very unlikely guardian angels.
Why see this show?
A warm, funny and genuinely life-affirming solo show about the unlikely places we find courage. Andrea Coleman's storytelling feels personal and universal at once — and the premise alone is worth the price of entry.
