Google Jody Kamali Presents...About the show
Jody Kamali: This is My Dad is a solo theatrical comedy show presented by Jody Kamali Presents... at The Crate as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. After his father's sudden death, Jody digs through his belongings and uncovers the man he thought he knew — who then returns for one hour to tell his story. Playing both himself and his father, Jody unpicks his dad's bizarre life in a show about grief, secrets and the contradictions within us all. From the creator of the fringe hit Ironing Board Man, the show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, and tickets start at £8.
Why see this show?
A solo performer playing two generations in one show about grief and unexpected discovery. Warm and funny rather than maudlin, it is the kind of Fringe piece that stays with you long after you leave the venue.
