“Note-perfect, lyrically mind-blowing hip-hop improv. Genius!” The Stage

My Son's Not Rainman - a one man show by Johnny Williams. Directed by Anna Crilly.

John is a forty one year old comedian and single dad.

The Boy is ten years old and autistic. He isn't a genius. His only special power is making his dad laugh. A lot.

This is their story.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'My Son's Not Rainman' is the real life story of one man bringing up a child with autism.

This is their tale of magic trains, lego, power rangers, the number 75 bus and life in a chaotic world neither of them will ever really
understand.

Funny and tender, ultimately it's just a celebration of what it truly means to be different.
Jim Daly "A man who revels in one-liners and geeky rapping so much that you just can't help but revel with him" - Bec Hill.
