reviews

“A riotous, irreverent, kick ass piece of autobiographical, standup fun that is also tender, vulnerable and deep.” – Rick Taylor (on something I wrote!)

"Janna Klostermann shares her journey of recovery from open-heart surgery through humour, storytelling and anecdotes from her physical rehabilitation sessions. The performance is energetic, and the anecdotes are delivered with humour, despite the challenging nature of talking about one’s health, fragile body and mortality." - Livia Belcea (Apt 613, 2019)
