In 2018, Simon’s late father performed a one man show about his imminent death to cancer. Now, alongside his Dad, Simon performs the greatest dead dad fringe show literally ever seen.
Fringe First winner Chris Larner (An Instinct For Kindness, BBC Radio 4) directs this profoundly talked about theatrical event combining stand up, songs and raw talent.
