Daddy's First Gay Date

Daddy's First Gay Date
Starring Sam Danson, Directed by Rikki Beadle-Blair
Is it selfish to leave someone you love in order to find yourself? An uncomfortable restaurant break-up becomes a pressure-cooker first date in this new comedy by Sam Danson (BI-TOPIA), directed by the award-winning Rikki Beadle-Blair.
Ben’s hoping his first date with a man can provide him with some much-needed answers, but is he expecting too much?
Set in their local pub – The Halfway House – a place full of memories; birthdays, christenings, funerals, and now this first date.
All the regulars are in, watching as Ben desperately tries not to crumble under the weight of his new life.
The show candidly explores identity and self-acceptance, whilst stewing in the awkwardness of ‘first dates’.
Extremely moving, nuanced piece of theatre, steeped in humour
