‘Witty and fanciful… Ed Gaughan teleports around American history, Dr Who style... Thought-provoking as good theatre should be, and the jazz trio on stage is a real bonus: it’s a pleasure to hear Christine Tobin singing standards again.’ **** Evening Standard

'Surreal and imaginative...You've never seen anything like it before.' **** London Paper

Frank drives the overnight bus from Penzance to London. The passengers want to sleep, but Frank wants company. He also has the in-coach microphone - and a surreal family story to tell.

Ed Gaughan takes us on a journey from Ireland, through Cornwall to New York in a darkly comic story, accompanied by a world-class jazz trio that includes Phil Robson on guitar, Dave Whitford on bass, and ‘The Bjork of Euro jazz’ (The Guardian) - Christine Tobin.

‘A surreal hybrid of theatre, stand-up comedy, film and jazz. Incorporating hysterical physical comedy the journey passes with entertaining speed.’ **** The Independent

'Ed Gaughan is flawlessly excellent. If he doesn't have a cult fan base already, they should really set one up.' **** Metro

'To hear Christine Tobin sing is never less than a joy, Radioplay is brimming with talent on all sides.'
