This show was one of my highlights at the Edinburgh Fringe, a mixture of absurdist storytelling and poetic ruminations, a sharp witted but soft delivery flowing through surreal original takes of jobs, life, and the mundane. This event is made possible through the support of The Assembly House Trust. 

Johnny White Really-Really is an alternative comedian, writer and musician from Sheffield. Described by Chortle in their five-star review of his 2023 stand-up hour Catland, as “a truly singular mind and talent”, his unique brand of comedy is “taking the artform in a genuinely modern direction”. 

His most recent show am/pm earned him a nomination for the Malcolm Hardee Award at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe. He has appeared on Starstruck (BBC), The Paddock (Channel 4), Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared (Channel 4), and cult web series Year Friends (Blink Industries). He hosts the podcast Lunchwatch from Hattrick. As a musician and composer, Johnny has composed film soundtrack work for the National Gallery, The National Theatre, The Old Vic Theatre, the Guardian, Vice, and on the feature films How To Be (2007), and Hide And Seek (2014), which won the Michael Powell Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
