Jonny B
Jonny B (or Jonathan Barrett as he is more affectionately known to the ATO) is a word nerd and grammar Neanderthal who likes to perform his poetry on stage because then it doesn’t matter where, or wheren’t, his apostrophes are, or aren’t.
He has performed his poetry to sold-out audiences on the main stage at Sydney Opera House, and also to a handful of drunks on a pallet at a craft brewery in Perth. Wherever he is, he just wants to make people smile.
When he’s not working or writing, Jonny B enjoys a relaxing drink in the garden or the pub with his Puppy Princes Colin & Vincent, Pussycat Princess Morgan, and his Queen, wife Converse Celebrant Karli Louise (Jonny B is the Jester of the royal household).
