Jonny (One Name, Like Cher) WIP

Salam & HolohanProfessional company

Multi-award winning comedian Jonny* (Every Brilliant Thing, Jonny & The Baptists) is coming to Edinburgh with a work in progress about himself. Or maybe about something else. He hasn't written anything yet but has booked accommodation. 'Donahoe is magnificent, masterful... truly brilliant' ***** (Times). *Formerly Jonny Donahoe, but now only using one name – like Rihanna. Or Madonna. Or Tito. Actually the pull quote from The Times only uses my surname, so this may have been a terrible decision, marketing-wise.

About the show

Jonny (One Name, Like Cher) WIP is a work-in-progress stand-up show from Salam & Holohan at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running 60 minutes. The comedian — formerly known as Jonny Donahoe, known for Every Brilliant Thing and Jonny & The Baptists, now going by one name only — comes to O'Neill's (The Tron) with a show about himself, or possibly something else entirely. He acknowledges he hadn't written anything at the time of booking accommodation. The show is recommended for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

The description alone makes a case for the show: a performer self-aware enough to admit the material doesn't exist yet, and confident enough to book the room anyway. A relaxed, curious evening of work-in-progress comedy from an experienced hand.
