About this show
Grab your finger-guns, comb your ‘stache and brace yourselves for the Well-Balanced Dads! Dick and Dale are taking the audience on a camping trip full of dad jokes, dance moves, acrobatics, movie references and unthreatening audience participation. This hilarious duo balances levity with deeper themes like finding your inner child, hypermasculinity and navigating life after the kids have flown the nest. '6 stars from this dad, 5 from the rest of the family!' (Good Dad). 'My face hurt from smiling' (Good Kid). A show for anyone who is a dad, has a dad or wants a dad.
