International comedian and favourite child* Philipp Kostelecky is fresh from a sold-out European tour and is bringing his show to London. With a unique brand of comedy that combines whimsical observations and a high-energy performance style, Philipp creates imaginative stand-up that absorbs the audience into his performances examining the mundane and dark aspects of culture and the human condition. Daddy's Home is a hilarious hour of stand-up comedy about living away from home, wearing a lizard skin, and pursuing your dreams. There's also a great joke about pancakes at the start.
