    Bertie Hodd: Dad Jokes

    Mon 29th April - Saturday 3rd May 7:15pm
    Tickets £12 - £18 (+ booking fee)
    Chuck the gender binary aside and join award-winning drag-king Dad on a queer reparenting extravaganza. Dad Jokes is a coming-of-middle-age story about one regular dad's attempt to understand his child.

    Chuck the gender binary aside and join award-winning drag-king Dad for a queer reparenting extravaganza, fusing clown, drag and cabaret. Through the lens of toast, cycling jokes and Radio 4, Dad Jokes takes you on a coming-of-middle-age story about one regular dad's attempt to understand his queer child. Expect lectures in lesbianism, hymns on housework and a much needed visit from Mummy.

    Dad Jokes is a love-letter to the queer community and parents who perhaps don’t ‘get it’, but really try to. It is an exploration of softer masculinity, utopian visions of parenting and the queer reinvention of family.

    "Every minute an engaging and charming delight"
    Fringe Review
    "It's comedy, but it's also deeply moving. Poignant even. I was left, both dazzled by Hodd’s talent and nursing a lump in my throat."
    Billie Turner
    "Hodd [has] the crowd in fits of uproarious laughter. [They are] a good physical performer with great comic timing and a beautiful singing voice."
