About the show
Kitty Daddy is a solo storytelling show by JMTC Theatre, performed at Space 1 on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Monologist Bob Brader tells the story of how an unexpected cat — Jade, who spent weeks hissing and growling from under the bed — turned his life upside down. As Jade's fierce determination to be alone prompts Bob to confront his own desire for isolation, the show becomes a funny and touching examination of rage, love and healing. It runs 45 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A warm, darkly funny and surprisingly moving solo show about what one difficult cat can reveal about a person. If you have ever loved something that didn't want to be loved, this tender story will resonate.
