Would I run a marathon for a Cornichon? Yeah.

Lads! Are you shirkin for a gherkin?

 

JOHNNYS masculinity is sweating under the pressure, so today, with his spoken wordz he'll try to change - just don't clap!

 

Unsettling, absurd and politically sharp I AM JOHNNY is a hilarious interrogation into the fragile bones of power and ownership of the female body.
