Audience endorsements and reflections on Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears, a storytelling performance blending humour, history, and emotion.

What people are saying.

“What I saw was so touching, funny, and honest.” — Alec Harmer, Manager, River Run Centre


“Jay’s shifts between characters feel completely natural—like a room full of people."
— Audience member


“Jay’s changes in persona are impressively natural. His command of the stories has the feel of the best kind of Irish pub—full of characters, each clearly and distinctly present. Most enjoyable and entertaining.” -- Audience Member


“I so loved spending time with Jay. There’s a deep humour in these stories—even in the most tragic moments—that feels oddly comforting right now.”
