Good Timin’ is a one-man show about one man’s journey to find another man. Actually, it’s a two-man show with one man missing and two different endings.

Join writer and performer Ian Mclaughlin (The Suggestibles) as he asks if there’s more than DNA linking him to his missing father? He discovers amazing parallels between their lives and personalities that make him question the very nature of nurture itself.

Part personal testimony, part stand-up and part science, Good Timin’ questions how much we really pass on to our children and how the things we keep from them can have a profound effect on their lives.

Director, Max Roberts said: “I’ve been an admirer of Ian Mclaughlin’s amazing talent as a performer in The Suggestibles for some time. One night he told me the amazing story of his search for his lost Dad. It struck me immediately that it would make a fantastic one man show which he should write and perform. A departure for a performer more well known for improvisation, comedy and crazy films. But the result is a beautifully written, witty and at times a heart-breaking piece of theatre.

Come and enjoy it but maybe bring a hanky.”
