“Absolutely wonderful performance. Heart warming, funny, emotional and beautifully acted. Watching this makes any notion of a ‘debate’ disappear, simply a human trying to find their happiness.” – Alicia, Salford Arts Theatre

“OUTSTANDING debut performance! Every perspective portrayed with such love and compassion. Answers so many questions people would have about being trans in a beautifully raw, profound, hilarious way. Bravo!” – Jenny, Theatre in Flow

“Genuinely a wonderful piece of theatre. Hilarious, tearful, joyful and more importantly an education and revelation into the life and trials of people in the trans community.  Jaden took us on Jack’s journey with grace, dignity and a good smattering of swearing. An excellent actor, with some great characterisations. We were mesmerised from the start. We came away feeling like better human beings, and with joy filled hearts. If you don’t see this, you are missing something truly special.” – Halifax Playhouse

“Absolutely bloody brilliant bit of theatre. Challenging and articulate and rounded. A great learning tool, too.” – Isolde, Fire and Water Arts

“What an incredible performance. This 1 man/woman/boy/nan show has led me on an emotional journey tonight!! If you are someone who just ‘doesnt get it’ someone who is afraid to ask the wrong question or scared you might offend someone. This is THE show for you! Anyone who has questions about what it is to be a trans person, anyone who has just come out as trans, any parents with kids who are questioning or beginning their transition and yes, Edna and Albert who watch Corrie every night. This is THE show for you!! Please, please get a ticket and see this show…. The more cis gender people who see this, the easier it is for people like me to live in the world.” – Hendrix, Coffee4Craig
