WINNER BRIGHTON FRINGE BEST STANDUP 2024 - THE SEAGULL
Did you know that 90% of British people claim to have daddy issues? Don't worry if you didn't because it's not true. But it does sound true. Especially if you've ever watched any stand-up comedy ever.
Has Anyone Seen My Dad is an hour of comedy from Marcus Dean (Edinburgh Fringe 2023) and definitely not an elaborate attempt to reconnect with his dad. Full of true stories that he wishes weren't true and jokes that he wishes were just jokes, it's an hour of relatable storytelling that crosses off all the coming-of-age milestones. Growing up in the 2000s. Finding yourself. And seeing your dad's penis for the first time.
"It's been a while since a comedy show has made me laugh so hard that I got a stitch, but that's exactly what Marcus Dean's Has Anyone Seen My Dad? achieved."
- The Seagull
"Dean takes what could easily be an incredibly difficult thing to make jokes about (his father leaving the family) and, ultimately, turns it into an hour of incredibly relatable material for everyone in the room."
