Jon Bennett:AMERI-CAN'T

Jon has spent most of his adult life touring country to country performing in festivals all over the globe with his hilarious brand of heart-felt storytelling. In March of 2020, after Jon appeared in his 124th international festival, COVID forced him back to his childhood home in the outback of Australia with his conservative, religious family including his father who finds knock-knock jokes offensive to the houseless and calls farts ‘blow offs’, his mother who gives ‘the finger' to small children, and his 3 now grown up siblings (and their children).

After jumping through every hoop imaginable to get back to his lifestyle touring the world, Jon was finally able to leave Australia and catch an almost empty flight to the USA--only to be arrested and detained at the airport upon landing.

AMERI-CAN'T is THAT story.* ***************************************************************************************************

."At the 7th Annual Tampa Fringe, Jon Bennett's latest is a one-man triumph. Hilarious and heartbreaking, laugh-out-loud funny as well as sullen at times, both unconditionally ribald and full of heart..." Broadway World -Tampa 2023
