Don't Give Up On Me, Dad

One Yellow Rabbit Presents
Don't Give Up On Me, Dad
Created and Performed by Andy Jones

What does compassion look like when answers fall short?

In Don’t Give Up On Me Dad, writer and performer Andy Jones shares a deeply personal story of love, loss and the search for understanding.

With honesty, compassion and his trademark humour, Jones reflects on his son Louis’ journey through mental illness and the challenges of navigating a healthcare system struggling to provide the support people need. This deeply human one-person performance transforms grief into a powerful call for connection, empathy and change.

Heartbreaking and unexpectedly funny, Don’t Give Up On Me Dad reminds us of the importance of listening and showing up for the people we love, even in the moments when we don’t know what to say.

"Andy Jones knows how deliver a heart punch with a heaping side of laughs. Go see his show even if you think it might be too close to your soft center."
