Hot off acclaimed runs in London, Edinburgh, 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.

The only thing sweeter than laughter is love…

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 surprise diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes! Along the way, Sam reminds us that the only thing sweeter than laughter is love.

Reviews

A wonderfully intimate offering that stints neither on big laughs, nor on honesty…Sam Morrison’s superb show about his partner’s death proves grief is not beyond comedy’s reach.
Quick-witted and charismatic...the grief comes out in laughs. Sam Morrison confronts overwhelming loss with punch lines and panache.
While audiences regularly double over with laughter throughout Sugar Daddy, they’re equally likely to bow their heads with tears
His openness and wit…ultimately his catharsis and the audience’s laughter draw everyone together in tragedy and comedy’s borderland.
Nothing I can write will truly describe the brilliance of this stand-up show. There simply isn’t enough hyperbole.
An irresistibly lovable exploration of love and loss. Morrison is a storyteller and craftsman.
