Sep 20, 2024 - Oct 13, 2024
A theatrical sugar rush—with none of the carbs.
Hot off acclaimed runs in Edinburgh, London, New York, and across North America, comedian Sam Morrison brings his no-holds-barred sass to the remarkable true story he never wanted to happen.
One summer in the gay paradise of Provincetown, Sam met the sexy silver zaddy of his dreams, igniting a romance for the ages. But in the midst of the pandemic, the love of his life tragically died from COVID. Devastated, Sam realized the only way to cope was through comedy. Live on stage. In front of thousands of strangers. Some of them (gasp!) straight. All around the globe. And to call the show SUGAR DADDY.
Join Sam as he shares his wild ride packed with big belly laughs and small tender kisses. Where seagull attacks are more vicious than a New York mugger. Where threesomes and steamy shower sex send Jehovah’s Witnesses running to their pamphlets. Oh, and where there’s a (double gasp!) surprise diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes! Along the way, Sam reminds us that the only thing sweeter than laughter is love.
"Quick-witted and charismatic...the grief comes out in laughs. Sam Morrison confronts overwhelming loss with punch lines and panache." - The New York Times
"…the best new show in New York right now: a whip-crack 65 minutes, beautifully told, sharp, moving, and truly laugh-out-loud, doubled-up, head-thrown-back funny." - The Daily Beast
"A wonderfully intimate offering that stints neither on big laughs, nor on honesty...Sam’s superb show proves grief is not beyond comedy’s reach" - The Guardian
