Show Description
Martin Decker: DAD By Keiron Self and Kevin Jones What makes a great dad? Martin thinks he might know and he’s determined to share it. This darkly funny, heartfelt journey dives into the father figures who shaped him –from Darth Vader to childhood hero Indiana Jones. With live movie re-enactments, less-than-perfect Harrison Ford impressions, and surprise guests on screen, the show speaks to anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re enough - and isn’t afraid to confront the tougher truths of fatherhood along the way. Content warnings: Contains themes of alcoholism and domestic abuse. 16+
