London scene listings magazine for all things LGBTQIA, QX, reports that a beautiful and funny play will be showing in the West End in March. Following celebrated performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in London, New York, and across North America, comedian Sam Morrison is captivating audiences with his deeply personal show, Sugar Daddy. The production, which earned a spotlight spot on Late Night with Seth Meyers, recounts a true story the comedian never anticipated living through.
Blending stand-up, storytelling, and raw emotional exploration, Sugar Daddy manages to be both shockingly humorous and unexpectedly romantic. The narrative centres on a summer in Provincetown where Morrison met and fell for an older man he describes as the "sexy silver zaddy" of his dreams. This burgeoning romance was tragically cut short when his partner died during the pandemic.
Faced with overwhelming grief, Morrison turned to the only coping mechanism he knew: comedy. He began processing his loss live on stage, performing for thousands of strangers around the world, and shaped the experience into the show now known as Sugar Daddy.
The resulting performance is an outrageous yet profoundly human tale. It weaves together themes of love and devastating loss with bizarre and poignant anecdotes, including seagull attacks, encounters with New York muggers, unexpected visits from Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Morrison’s own surprise diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes.
