Jon Bennett: HOW I LEARNED TO HUG

2HOOTS PRODUCTIONS

Portland, OR
UNITED STATES
A hilarious and deeply personal exploration of love, loss, sex, and emotional connection. The story begins in the surreal setting of Montreal Airport, where Bennett is detained as a suspected terrorist by a security guard named “Karen.” What unfolds is far more than a travel mishap. With his trademark blend of absurd humour, visual gags, and fearless vulnerability, Bennett examines how relationships shape us — and why something as simple as a hug can feel impossibly complicated.

Winner of Best Comedy at San Diego Fringe and nominated for major comedy awards in Montreal and Perth, this critically acclaimed show balances gut-busting laughter with raw emotional honesty. Audiences leave moved, entertained, and perhaps a little braver about intimacy.

“A unique blend of gut-busting laughter and emotional resonance. ★★★★★” – Theatre in London
