About
Hot off acclaimed runs in Edinburgh, London, New York, and across North America, and as seen on Late Night with Seth Meyers, join Sam Morrison for the remarkable true story he never wanted to happen.
One summer in Provincetown, Sam met the sexy silver zaddy of his dreams. But in the midst of the pandemic, the love of his life tragically died from COVID.
Searching for a way to survive his grief, Sam did the only thing he knew:
He turned the unbearable into comedy. Done live on stage. In front of thousands of strangers. Some of them straight. All around the globe. And called the show SUGAR DADDY.
The result is an outrageous, deeply human story involving: love and loss, seagull attacks, New York muggers, unexpected encounters with Jehovah’s Witnesses, and a surprise diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes.
Part stand-up, part storytelling, and part emotional excavation, SUGAR DADDY is both shockingly funny and unexpectedly romantic.
