Sam Lake to head out on first tour
- Sam Lake: Aspiring DILF will run between February and April 2024
- One of the best reviewed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe in August, it focuses on Lake embarking on a mission to ensure he becomes what he believes to be the last respectable form of a man: The Daddy
Sam Lake is to embark on his debut tour, performing Aspiring DILF between February and April 2024.
His tour organisers say: "Fresh from a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, multi award-winning comedian and wannabe 'Daddy' Sam Lake embarks on his first UK tour, bringing Aspiring DILF to cities from Edinburgh to Brighton, Newcastle to Bristol and more, culminating with a run at the prestigious Soho Theatre.
"Aspiring DILF (written & performed by Sam Lake and directed by Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Lauren Pattison) was among the best reviewed comedy shows of the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe."
The show's blurb explains: "With the rise of formerly beloved male celebs becoming toxic 'why aren't men men anymore?' commentators on low-quality 'anti-woke' news outlets and podcasts, Sam has become scared of the man he could become in the future. To combat this fragile masculinity, he's embarking on a mission to ensure he becomes what he believes to be the last respectable form of a man: The Daddy.
"Sam presents a hilarious show about the positive role models in his life that taught him to be a good guy. Who in his life has that BDE (Big Daddy Energy)? Is it Claire, absolute hun, office manager & Sam's work bestie? Or should he be taking tips from his friend's 11 year-old son? Join him on his journey to Daddy-dom, as he chats about Furbies, Butlins & reveals some scandalous interactions with a rugby team."
