Bertie Hodd: Dad Jokes
Chuck the sudoku and the gender binary aside and join award-winning drag-king Dad for a queer reparenting extravaganza, fusing clown, drag and cabaret. Through the lens of toast, cycling jokes and Radio 4, Dad Jokes takes you on a coming-of-middle-age story about one regular dad's attempt to understand his queer child. Expect lectures in lesbianism, hymns on housework and a much needed visit from Mummy.

Bertie Hodd is an award-winning multi-skilled hyper-hyphenated performer and live artist working across comedy, drag, theatre, clowning, directing and producing. Bertie's work is based in political comedy, mundane cabaret and audience connectivity. They like to make work that is inherently stupid and surprisingly resonant and always, full of heart.

Reviews


Every minute an engaging and charming delight

- Fringe Review, ★★★★

It's comedy, but it's also deeply moving. Poignant even. I was left, both dazzled by Hodd’s talent.

- Billie Turner, ★★★★

Hodd [has] the crowd in fits of uproarious laughter.
