Dane Simpson: Didgeri-Dad

Dane has always loved a dad joke - now he’s a dad himself. It’s got him thinking: what lessons did he learn from his own dad? What will he pass onto his son? Is this baby his legacy and…hang on…is he his dad’s legacy?

Hilariously upbeat jokes and stories about fatherhood, family and the general chaos of life - from the most loveable dad this side of Bluey’s dad. As seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Thank God You’re Here and big screen release The Emu War.
