I Favor My Daddy – A Tale of Two Sissies (Jamie Brickhouse)

Jamie Brickhouse’s I Favor My Daddy: A Tale of Two Sissies, which debuted with a sold out, award-winning run at FringeNYC, the New York International Fringe Festival, is the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed and award-winning solo show, Dangerous When Wet: Booze, Sex, and My Mother. That show was about Jamie’s drinking and sexuality, and his Texas tornado of a mother Mama Jean.

I Favor My Daddy is about Jamie’s father Earl aka Daddy Poo and his drinking and sexuality. Daddy Poo adores bikinis and martinis as much as his son. An octogenarian, ribald Catholic conservative accepting of his son’s homosexuality and arrested alcoholism, but is he in denial about his own? After he dies suddenly Jamie begins to realize that the constant postmortem refrain of the folks in town—”You favor your daddy,”—is true from his skin down to his marrow. Is Jamie the full-blown version of Daddy Poo?

“[I Favor My Daddy] scores on so many levels: funny, touching, honest, insightful and most of all a wonderful entertainment.” —Charles Busch, actor, playwright & drag legend

“Brickhouse is the kind of guy you’d like to meet at a boring cocktail party to liven things up; in I Favor My Daddy he reminds again of his way with words; sentences sparkle, and he knows how to punctuate a joke with a cocked eyebrow or sly grin. . . this is a fun ride through an unconventional life.” —Orlando Sentinel
