What really happened is even more incredible. He didn’t have a spontaneous breakdown on stage. He wrote and performed a comedy show about how the sexual abuse affected him called Monkey See Monkey Do. That show won him the Edinburgh Comedy Award. And now this show just won him three Emmy Awards. (Donny is writing the show at the end, by the way. It zooms in on pages from the script from episode 4.) And that’s on turning lemons into lemonade.
The one man live show of his called Monkey See Monkey Do that's where he's talking about his assault. He said he was throwing up backstage before the show but it helped him immensely. It was a catharsis.
3:49 i also cried when the dad hugged him. THAT was powerful.
Absolutely agreed! Probably the most powerful moment of the series for me!

That is such an incredible journey honestly! I didn't catch the script pages either from episode 4 as well!! I love learning stuff like this 😃

I am so glad to hear he got some catharsis from doing all this! Created an incredible show and gave a great performance alongside it as well
