Jonny Brook, he's a mad old bag of disabled, but he's got so many hilarious tales about that life, and how shambolic he's become at living it. As you'll find out during the show, he started off as a normal, but has become disabled, hugely disabled.................. thankfully though, he's hilariously disabled. This show will take you through tales of his hilarious inability to talk to his GP, Nurses, Specialists, Surgeons and many more members of the medical community, about his inability to maturely deal with having the legs you'd have, if you could buy them off TEMU. In addition to this, you'll hear tales of his inability to process all manner of humans, that want to speak with him, about how damaged he is. Whether it's a Taxi Driver, Semi Naked Pensioner, Slow Reader of Tattoos, or compassionate Sex Workers, Jonny and his show will entertain you hugely, with so many tales of how incapable he is, at just being normal at all, anymore....................... Type of Comedy: Stand-Up
