Dead Dad Show (Work (of Art) in Progress)

  • The Glitch 134 Lower Marsh London, England, SE1 7AE United Kingdom (map)

Future Olivier, Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner Simon David brings his latest hour to The Glitch. Literally anything could happen… he could forget his lines… literally anything could happen!

In 2018, Simon’s late father performed a one man show about his imminent death to cancer. Now in 2023, Simon performs the greatest dead dad show literally ever seen.

Fringe First winner Chris Larner (An Instinct For Kindness, BBC Radio 4) directs this profoundly talked about, once in a lifetime theatrical event showcasing musical theatre excellence, believable acting, stirring dance, uncensored comedy and dangerously high levels of heart.

‘Personality the size of a football stadium and the effortlessness of a consummate entertainer. It’s honestly fantastic.’ Broadway World

‘An affecting hour, fully aware of the “dead dad” fringe show cliché, balancing poignancy with soul-searching humour’ The Guardian
