Justin Hamilton's new show Johnny Loves Mary Forever 1994 is a fast-paced, well crafted hour of clever storytelling. An accomplished performer, Hamilton takes the audience on an entertaining journey from the Afghanistan war zone to the battlefield of a backyard BBQ, and shares reflections on love played out in public. Armed with words, his quick-fire delivery provides much to laugh, and think, about. It is the layered, beautiful details in Hamilton's observations that add depth to the comedy: a pink-orange bruise in the Kabul sky, the wisdom drawn from a soldier's idioms, and the power of a flaky pastry snack in an emergency.
