Following a critically acclaimed, complete sell-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, My Family: Not The Sitcom comes to the Playhouse Theatre.
My Family: Not the Sitcom is a massively disrespectful celebration of the lives of David Baddiel’s late mother, Sarah, and dementia-ridden father, Colin. It’s a show about memory, ageing, infidelity, dysfunctional relatives, moral policing on social media, and gay cats. Come and be offended on David’s behalf.
‘Compelling to watch both for its unvarnished truth and complicated affection’
Michael Billington, The Guardian
‘Hugely funny…If you’re going to disrespect the dead and the incapacitated, do it like this: truthfully, inventively and, finally, lovingly.’
Dominic Maxwell, The Times
‘Universally joyful… I wish this show long life’
Steve Bennett, Chortle
Rare to see one that draws its subject as honestly, vividly and humorously as this’
Alice Jones, The i
