About this event
“Uproariously funny!” Edinburgh Festival
It takes star quality to get adopted. And Jonathan Mayor has star quality. “I was chosen, you see. Right from the start. They weren’t prepared to leave the quality of their offspring to chance.”
It’s been a tough journey from the cobbled streets of Oldham to the glamour of Hollywood. Tougher still for the Scottish-Mauritian adopted son of white parents. But let’s not dwell on that…your fabulous host is here to entertain you.
Inspired by standup comedian Jonathan Mayor’s real life, Varnish is a blistering new play from Janet Taylor, exploring transracial adoption and the struggle for identity.
Join Jonathan’s live, star-studded audience and buckle up for belly laughs in this darkly flamboyant, varnished version of the truth.
