Did you know that 90% of British people claim to have daddy issues? Don’t worry if because it’s not true. But it does sound true. Especially if you’ve ever watched any stand-up comedy ever. Has Anyone Seen My Dad is an hour of comedy from Marcus Dean (Edinburgh Fringe 2023) and definitely not an elaborate attempt to reconnect with his father. Full of true stories that he wishes weren’t true and jokes that he wishes were just jokes, it’s an hour of relatable storytelling comedy that crosses off all the coming-of-age milestones. Growing up in the 2000s. Finding yourself. And seeing your dad...

Kevin Precious used to be a teacher. He enjoyed the teaching part... it was all of the other stuff around the job that he felt was a drag. In the end, he left to seek his fortune via the means of stand-up comedy, and - in so doing - incorporated observations and anecdotes related to his teaching career into his act. Eventually, Kevin built up enough teacher-orientated ideas to create and tour a show specifically about teaching entilted 'Not Appropriate' across arts centres, theatres and festivals throughout the land. Such was the reception that in many instances, he was invited to return to...

The audience are issued paddles and raising them when they wish to heckle which makes for a controlled-chaos atmosphere.
