2022 Edinburgh Fringe
John Hastings: Do You Have Any Ointment My John Hastings
Despite the subject matter of his recent traumas (divorce, a bike accident and the death a close friend), this fantastic show packs in lots of big laughs.
John Hastings has had to deal with the shit life has thrown at him since 2019... He got a divorce during Covid, his best friend got a terminal diagnosis, he got bed bugs, he nearly got his arm amputated and he did a massive poo in his pants. He has been on telly though: BBC Three if that counts? Oh and... America's Got Talent! 'Go see him now!' **** (Herald). 'Pleasure to watch' **** (Times). 'Good anecdotes skilfully told by a performer with presence' **** (Chortle.co.uk).
