you're not my dad
AMANDA CLEMMONS uncertified reviewer June 08, 2026
Solo theatre done right! Ryan's performance was a masterclass in embodying multiple characters. He shifted seamlessly between each one so that the story flowed naturally and I was hooked the whole time. This story is one that a lot of people will be able to relate to and Ryan delivers it with such sincerity that I couldn't help but be invested. The piece was crafted so each emotional and tonal shift was earned and fit into the tapestry of the story. This is one not to miss!... full review

I really related to the family he described. It was a very personal and sometimes raw account, while amazingly still being very entertaining! ... full review

Playing five different characters, Ryan Jeanes takes us on a journey through his traumatic upbringing which somehow manages to be both hair-raisingly brutal and shockingly funny. With a clear-eyed approach, this talented storyteller shares his moving tale with hard-won insights that will leave you thinking about this show well after you’ve left the theatre. ... full review

What a wonderful piece of storytelling! I cried, I laughed, I cried while laughing and vice versa! It was cathartic, intimate, and I left feeling like I had been to the best therapy session I've been to in my life. You can't ask much more for live theatre and Ryan delivered!... full review
