About Spencer Waldner
Spencer Waldner presents DADDY ISSUES, a bold solo show at Clover Studio, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. After contracting COVID, Spencer finds himself unable to stop telling the truth. Desperate to be fixed, he seeks professional help — but as his clinical sessions unfold, he spirals into revealing every secret he swore to bury forever, including an attraction to older men. The show explores identity, upbringing and what happens when the stories we tell stop protecting us. This 60-minute show is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A solo show built on an irresistible premise — a man who can't stop telling the truth, sitting across from a therapist. Spencer Waldner turns personal confession into a structured, darkly funny meditation on identity and the stories we use to protect ourselves.
