“Touching on identity politics, notions of traditional masculinity, & the dark lengths individuals will go to in order to belong … what makes Just A Small Town Boy so unique is its surprising poignancy, each hilarious memory tinged with unexpected pathos, often captivating the audience into silence” ★★★★ AltMedia
“Jack Gow possesses an anxious, apologetic eloquence that takes the everyday and makes it quietly marvellous … Just A Small Town Boy is a bittersweet experience, a highly amusing but subtly complex hour by a talented wordsmith” ★★★★ The Music
