To Make People Happy is a new show for festivals, theatres and village halls, created by writer and theatre maker John Osborne (Sky 1’s After Hours, John Peel’s Shed). There has never been a better time for an uplifting show. To Make People Happy explores the humour section of second hand book shops, jokes overheard on market stalls and finding the positives in life. With audio clips of moments guaranteed to make an audience happy, this is a poetry show with a difference.

John is a regular on the rural touring circuit, having performed shows regularly in village halls, pubs, churches, community centres and libraries.
