About this show
Sam Morrison (Late Night With Seth Meyers, Comedy Central) follows smash-hit Sugar Daddy with DUCK, a science-obsessed attack on the human ego. He questions why everything – his Judaism, therapy and Grindr – have never worked for him. Using ducks with spiral vaginas and dick-throwing octopuses as a guide, Sam spirals through a punchline-packed evolutionary existential crisis searching for answers. 'Arch sass and polished panache' (New York Times). 'Superb' (Guardian). 'Morrison has everything... under masterful control' * (WhatsOnStage.com). 'Head-thrown-back funny' (TheDailyBeast.com). * (BroadwayWorld.com). * (LondonTheatreReviews.co.uk). * (BroadwayBaby.com). * (LondonTheatre1.com). * (NorthWestEnd.co.uk).

4.5 Stars Hilarious observations with a hint of antagonism from a wonderful comedian.
In the space between the many facts and the structures that govern our existence, there must be a simpler way for us to live – but what does that even look like?
— Theatre in Edinburgh (4 out of 5 stars)
It is a smart show, and one that rewards attention.
