Childhood by CHEAP WINE
- Company
- One East Productions
- Writer & Performer

Jack Creaghan
- Runtime
- 59 minutes
"Cheap Wine" is family. For real. As in two of them have the same parents and two have a marriage certificate. Which is fun, but also kind of weird! Try to figure out who is what to who, how much is based on real life, and if spending this much time together is healthy. AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD at the 2025 Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival. Part sketch comedy, part unhinged autobiography, part inability to leave behind the hopes and fears of childhood.
Warning: This is a friendly family troupe, but not a family-friendly show.
