Critical Acclaim for Sugar Daddy
A 6 week original run at Soho Playhouse in early 2023 preceded 3 encore engagements, Outer Critics Circle & Off Broadway Alliance nominations, and two sold out runs in London.
As theater prepares to rumble into its Tony season full-gear, Morrison’s is the best new show in New York right now: a whip-crack 65 minutes, beautifully told, sharp, moving, and truly laugh-out-loud, doubled-up, head-thrown-back funny.
The Daily Beast
A wonderfully intimate offering that stints neither on big laughs, nor on honesty…Sam Morrison’s superb show about his partner’s death proves grief is not beyond comedy’s reach.
The Guardian
Nothing I can write will truly describe the brilliance of this stand-up show. There simply isn't enough hyperbole.
Broadway World
Quick-witted and charismatic...the grief comes out in laughs. Sam Morrison confronts overwhelming loss with punch lines and panache.
New York Times
Unapologetically queer, filled with love and hilariously funny...one of the most powerful and fearless hours of comedy you’ll see.
Broadway Baby
His openness and wit…ultimately his catharsis and the audience’s laughter draw everyone together in tragedy and comedy’s borderland.
New Yorker
If grief were a crystal, Morrison lifts it to the light and magnifies a whole different perspective on it with his rib-tickling anecdotes. It’s dark, moving, and just quite hilarious.
Voice Magazine
While audiences regularly double over with laughter throughout Sugar Daddy, they're equally likely to bow their heads with tears.
Playbill
Brilliantly interweaves moments of full body laughter, deep poignancy and, ultimately, the triumph of life.
Hey Alma
An irresistibly lovable exploration of love and loss. Morrison is a storyteller and craftsman.
