Johnny shares a bit about how he’s built his team around his one-man act and even shared a few gear secrets about what he lugs around on his back to venues around the UK and France. He told us how we can eat delicious peri-peri chicken just like him (here’s the recipe), what it was like playing for the troops in Afghanistan, about messing with the folks at Cannes, and he’ll even share what’s in store for the future.
