Bertie Hodd: Dad Jokes

Writer & Performer - Bertie Hodd
Dramaturgy - Rosa Garland, Riss Obolensky, Annie North & Maddie Ross
Presented by SparkFest
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 a multi-skilled hyper-hyphenated performer and live artist working across comedy, drag, theatre, clowning, directing and producing. Bertie likes to make work that is inherently stupid and surprisingly resonant and always, full of heart.
Presented as part of the seventh annual SparkFest - a festival showcase of theatre, music, and dance from graduating students, alumni, and industry partners from Bath Spa University's School of Music & Performing Arts.
