My Dead Dad

The BFF Binge Fringe Festival of Theatre, the only free Fringe Festival in the country, presents Sam Jae's My Dead Dad. Writer-performer Sam Jae calls his play “the funniest show about death you’ve ever seen!” Sam can do this because he’s a comedy professional, experienced in comedy writing, stand-up and sketch performance. My Dead Dad is a memoir of Sam’s complicated but loving relationship with his dad. Dad was boldly assertive, sports-obsessed and macho. Sam was the opposite: unathletic, husky (OK, fat), but eager to please his Dad. Dad passes when Sam is fifteen, and the loss will inform Sam’s life for years to come. A letter that Sam finds from his father will affect Sam’s perspective on things in unexpected and surprising ways. Written & performed by Sam Jae. Directed by Anna-Marija Stojic. Produced by Jessica Lynn Johnson. Rated: 15+
