About the show
Adi Parmar is a gay stand-up comedian who uses laughter to make sense of an unforgettable childhood in North India and an unexpected fatherhood in North Holland. Presented by Pierrot Productions, Sunny Boy is a 60-minute show that questions whether fatherhood is real or a lie made up by BIG childhood to sell MORE therapy. Parmar is a Soho Theatre London Comedy Plus Lab 2025 alumnus and winner of the Best Emerging Artist weekly award at Adelaide Fringe 2026.
