Sam Morrison describes himself as many things: ‘an anxious, asthmatic, gay, diabetic Jew’, he offers at the start of Sugar Daddy. He’s also, aged just 26, a widower. In February 2021, his boyfriend Jonathan died after contracting covid.Despite that, this is certainly not a harrowing show (although there are flecks of tragedy throughout, particularly towards the end). Morrison explains that he has learned to cope with Jonathan’s death by ‘sharing’ him with others, and he does this by lovingly depicting their relatively brief time together.

He frequently vacillates between timelines set before, during and after their relationship, a device that sometimes gets in the way of what would otherwise be a straightforward if passionately told love story. Whenever jokes don’t land the way that he’d like, Morrison challenges the crowd. Although it sometimes feels like we’re being accosted, it becomes clear later on that he needs to experience the highs of a responsive audience at the start of the show so that he can crash during a finale in which he lays bare his agony for all to see. Impressively, he still manages to end on an infectiously upbeat note.
