Sugar Daddy follows comedian Sam Morrison as he grapples with the COVID-19-induced death of the love of his life. The play chronicles Morrison’s experience of using comedy to journey through his grief.
What's Sugar Daddy Like?
Sugar Daddy" tells the story of Sam Morrison's relationship with his late partner, Jonathan, who passed away unexpectedly from COVID-19. The play navigates the complexities of grieving while finding humor in the darkest moments. Through a mix of comedy and raw storytelling, Morrison reflects on his queer identity, his partnership, and the unique ways he copes with loss, often using dark humor as a coping mechanism.
Morrison balances the emotional depth of his story with light-hearted and humorous anecdotes, creating a narrative that is both deeply touching and genuinely funny. The play serves as a meditation on how people deal with loss, the importance of laughter in healing, and the idea that it's okay to find humor in the most unexpected places.
