This was an hour of hilarious, accessible, engaging stories about his life and sexual adventures, free of any cliches. Great comedic storytelling with natural and positive audience interactions. I don't understand why I had not heard of Sam Lake before now. I gave this four stars (****). I can't wait to see him again.

Why have I never seen this guy before? An hour of first-class comedy, confidently delivered. Well worth the price of admission...

A confident but not dominating stage presence leads you through an hour of laughter, with a bit of inspiration to send you on your way.

Smart, hilarious, witty take on a very relatable quest for Daddyhood. A MUST SEE show, Sam will leave you laughing out the door as he imparts you with serious BDE for the rest of the day. This DILF is going places *****

Sam had me curled over laughing at his original observations. His confidence and showmanship made you comfortable and relaxed from the first minute. A star in the making on the LGBT+ scene.

Worried by the flyer about the crudeness of the show not being to my taste but there was no need. Although certainly not a PG show Sam was never crass, using innuendo and smut like a delicate surgeon.

This maybe the last chance to see Sam in an intimate space, he's going places.

From a late show to a handful of people last year, to a packed room at noon this year, Sam Lake is already a star in the making. Full of heart and effortlessly charming while being darkly funny and astute. As long as he keeps performing, we'll keep coming back!

We came to see Sam last year when he performed to about 6 of us and we loved it so much we came back this year, so glad we did! Really really laugh out loud funny and very cleverly put together hour. Highly recommend !
