Here's What the critics say...

CBC:
Dan Licoppe, Mark Walker ... share the good, the bad and the laugh out loud father and son moments that make life life. It's funny. And the delivery is engaging too.

Winnipeg Sun:
Dan Licoppe, Mark Walker ... share fond, funny and intimate memories of life with fathers who ruled in an era when parenting style had something to do with fashion - damn dirty hippie fashion. A cozy, amusing homage.

Winnipeg Free Press:
The difference between dads then and now is a comedy goldmine. A delightful triple play.

Uptown Magazine
Dawn of the Dad is stand up comedy with a through line. Despite the stories of tough love, the three men speak of their dads with pride and express their love for their fathers in their own style.

What do you get when you take men born in the 1960s, who were raised by fathers who did not have Dr. Phil around to give them advice?

Dawn of the Dad.

First performed at the 2005 Winnipeg Fringe Festival, this hit show went on to be nationally broadcast on CBC Radio as a 2006 Father's Day special. A CD from this performance will be available soon.
