Daddy's First Gay Date

Is it selfish to leave someone you love in order to find yourself?

Ben’s hoping his first date with a man can provide him with some much-needed answers, but is he expecting too much?

An uncomfortable restaurant break-up becomes a pressure-cooker first date in this new comedy by Sam Danson (BI-TOPIA), directed by the award-winning Rikki Beadle-Blair.

From a local village pub to a big gay rave in the city, Daddy’s First Gay Date takes audiences on a Northern rom-com rollercoaster.

The show explores identity, self-acceptance and coming out as LGBT later in life.

Starring Dior Clarke, Megan Edmondson & Sam Danson.

Originally commissioned by Creative Industries Trafford.
