I see over 100 shows a year on Broadway and beyond, and whenever it comes time to do a "best of" roundup, I can't shake the feeling that I've barely scratched the surface when it comes to the excellence of 2024's plays, musicals, and more.

Here’s a riddle. What do *Batman* and Broadway’s most critically acclaimed new musical have in common?

“If I was to sit here and try to explain to you what *Batman* was, and it wasn’t as culturally ubiquitous as it is, you’d be like, ‘What the fuck are you talking about?’” said Emmy Award-winning actor [Darren Criss](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/darren-criss). “But actually, the world’s going to love it!”

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.
