Winnipeg Free Press
“Gallant is a passionate storyteller, captivating the audience with personal anecdotes and her quest to connect, but most importantly, eat hot dogs at the Eiffel Tower with ‘French Papa.'”
How many times will she find out she isn’t who she thinks she is?

British comedian Maggie Gallant shares her childhood embarrassments and adulthood discoveries as she unleashes a Pandora’s Box of hope, lies and ‘un très magnifique’ French Papa!
