It’s about getting knocked down, and getting up again. It’s about laughing in the face of it all. It’s about an hour. 'Birdman, whose jovially sour tales of his two strokes rides high on his own excellence' (Dominic Maxwell, Times). 'This thought-provoking, soul-bearing show is a joy. Such weighty material, handled with the utmost respect' (Skinny).
