"In the finest tradition of the one person show Tim McGarry gave a stunningly good performance. It was like watching Billy Crystal". Adam Kronenberg - Artistic Director Outback Theatre for Young People.

"What a show... The professionalism displayed by Tim McGarry (actor) and the crew was something rarely seen in these remote parts of the world …we need to resource more opportunities like this to engage our young people. It was also great to meet Susanne Gervay in Lightning Ridge, what a lady, inspiring to say the least!" - George McCormick, Youth Development Officer, Walgett Shire Council.
