I AM JOHNNY 

I AM JOHNNY 

Written + Performed by TESSA PARR

Boys, 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.
