Broadway

Every inch of New York is filled with music. You'll hear pop songs blasting from speakers on pedicabs, solo singing and instrumentalizing ringing through subway stations, muzak drifting out from the doors of bars and shops, and of course, live music of all genres filling up the city's many theatres and concert halls.

[*Sugar Daddy*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27393-sugar-daddy-tickets), a one-man comedy show written and performed by Sam Morrison, has announced plans to premiere on Broadway in 2025.

After a world premiere at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, *Sugar Daddy* debuted off Broadway at the SoHo Playhouse in January 2023. The show centers around Morrison's relationship with his late partner, Jonathan, and how he used humor to process his grief. Jokes about seagulls, a mugging, sex, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Morrison's diabetes diagnosis also factor in.

New York Theatre Guide's Off-Broadway [*Sugar Daddy* review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/sugar-daddy-off-broadway-review-sam-morrison) reads, "New York comedian Sam Morrison churned his anguish into grist for stand-up. The result is *Sugar Daddy*, his cleverly constructed tell-all – or thereabouts – that is punchy and poignant."

*Sugar Daddy* is set to play the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California, this fall before its Broadway bow. The creative team includes director Stephen Brackett, scenic designer Arnulfo Maldonado, lighting designer Jennifer Schriever, sound designer Sinan Zafar, and video and projection designer Alex Basco Koch.

Further details, including a Broadway venue and dates, have yet to be released.

Brooklyn-based comedian Sam Morrison makes his Off-Broadway debut with *Sugar Daddy*, his critically acclaimed solo show from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Get *Sugar Daddy* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

*Sugar Daddy* is a comedy show, but Morrison uses humor to discuss grief, seamlessly blending comedy with tragedy. The show traces his relationship with his partner Jonathan, from their first meeting in Provincetown, Massachusetts to the deepening of their relationship in quarantine to Jonathan's sudden death from Covid-19. Morrison turned to comedy to cope, and the result is *Sugar Daddy*, which deals with coincidences, seagull attacks, love, loss, and resilience.

*Sugar Daddy* is the follow-up to Morrison's first solo show, *Hello, Daddy!* Both premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland — in 2019 and 2022, respectively — where they received rave reviews. He was also a writer on season 1 of the Bravo show *Blind Date*; he wrote 64 episodes including the pilot, "Daddy."

Morrison has appeared on *The Drew Barrymore Show* and live at The Stand Up NBC Finals, The Tonight Show Showcase, RuPaul's DragCon, Laughing Skull Festival, and the New York Comedy Festival, which named him Best of New Talent. He also frequently performs at comedy venues in Brooklyn and hosts Queerotica, a showcase for queer comedians, at the Strand bookstore.

*Sugar Daddy* off Broadway plays the SoHo Playhouse, which has hosted other acclaimed comedy shows like *Fleabag* (by Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and *Just For Us* (by Alex Edelman) in recent years.

Sugar Daddy - NYC - TodayTix

We all know comedy equals tragedy plus time. But how much time? It varies. To deal with losing his beloved boyfriend suddenly to Covid-19, New York comedian Sam Morrison churned his anguish into grist for stand-up. 

The result is [*Sugar Daddy*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27393-sugar-daddy-tickets), his cleverly constructed tell-all – or thereabouts – that is punchy and poignant, despite some rough stretches. Grief isn’t neat and tidy. The same goes for this show that has landed off Broadway following a run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

Think of this work as “Love, Loss, and What I Joked.” Morrison, who describes himself as “an anxious asthmatic gay diabetic Jew,” opens the show with a quip that the [SoHo Playhouse](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/soho-playhouse) audiences are part of his cure. 

“Hello and welcome to my grief group,” he says. “Of all the groups I’ve been to, this is actually the most helpful.” A beat, then he slyly adds, “because you can’t speak.”

He’s got that covered. Morrison is a fast and furious motormouth. A loud one, too. Which turns out to be the source of most of the sour patches in *Sugar Daddy* — the comedian, guided by director Ryan Cunningham, shoots for hysterically overemphatic but too often winds up shrill. Sure, blasting into overdrive is a comic choice. But instead of pulling you in, he pushes you away. 

Establishing and maintaining a connection is key to a piece this raw, personal, and curvy. By design – and it’s a deft one – the show is packed with detours, non-sequiturs, unprintable references to sex, and an in-your-face blood-glucose level check. Recently diagnosed with diabetes, this comic believes in both show and tell. 

Morrison frames the piece with a mugging incident. “I have a gun,” said the thief. “Give me the phone.” Morrison refused. “I said, ‘I can’t do that. My boyfriend Jonathan passed away, I have his photos on this phone.’” The robber persisted. Meanwhile, Morrison takes a narrative detour, one of many tucked into 60 minutes.

After sharing bits of his sexual history, Morrison recalls meeting Jonathan a few years ago during Bear Week in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Jonathan was 26 years his senior. Morrison wasn’t looking for a relationship, just a port in the storm. But they clicked. Two years later, a global pandemic arrived. 

They quarantined at Morrison’s grandmother’s house. They played games, created a just-for-us silly language, and, like all couples, argued. One disagreement was recorded and shared by mistake. That becomes an amusing anecdote.  

Since Jonathan’s death, Morrison has had no time for shallow platitudes. But he allows himself to think seemingly random events may actually be signs of something more. Like an aggressive seagull. Jonathan?

Back with the mugger, Morrison recalls convincing him to steal his wallet instead of his phone. Then he realizes the photos were safely backed up in the cloud, which leads to a limp bit about privilege. The wallet, however, was Jonathan's and couldn't be replaced. But it could be returned, which leads to another incident Morrison freights with meaning and mines for all it's worth. 

Amid the one-liners, a telling and revealing moment was unscripted. Morrison caught a theatregoer secretly snapping a picture mid-show and quietly asked him to knock it off. “This is hard,” the comedian said. 

Laughter may be the best medicine, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
