Good evening, esteemed delegates, and welcome to the inaugural National Dad Conference - exploring the big questions about what it means to be a father today and celebrating those who excel in the field.

We know you were expecting a rendition of Bertie Hodd’s 5 star, award-winning, genre-resisting show ‘Dad Jokes’ but due to a recent third-life crisis, they have decided to throw their toys out of the proverbial pram and instead retire from fatherhood to walk the Camino de Santiago. (Like father, like drag artist).

So, please join us for the last time to celebrate the fatherliest of figures as we give him the send off he deserves (lots of booing and telling him he was a shit dad anyway).

Conference agenda to be sent out shortly.

Audience dress code: your finest Dad attire. Socks and sandals are highly encouraged.

Expect special guests.
