As it says on the tin, Jonny Awsum is indeed awesome! He converts the audience into a family gathering, asking us to play the pipe and the triangle, to make sexy or funny noises, and to even act. In summary, he involved almost everyone. With his “awesome” guitar, he played some very captivating songs about relationships, marriage, one night stands and his availability to play in weddings and funerals. He also performed a rap song towards the end of the show.

Even if you don’t want to, you can see yourself interacting without noticing. It just goes flawlessly. He is funny, a great song writer and an accomplished guitar player, & just crackles with energy on stage. It seems like he has the full package. It was one hour full of laughter. I couldn’t see anyone that wasn’t responding and interacting with him. He also greets you with a souvenir that you can take home. It was an amazing show that deserves to be watched. FOUR STARS
