Dad Who? is the latest in Susan Fischer's popular series of Evelyn Reese shows. If you've seen one of her other shows, you're familiar with the shtick: Evelyn is a clueless, aging harridan in sequin jumpsuits and crazy-person glasses whose one-woman shows consist of her often politically incorrect musings on her own life. Topics range from dating, to drinking to partying with her favourite "poofter" friend. Fischer's physicality is phenomenal. She entirely inhabits the bizarre posture and body of Evelyn Reese. She is obviously extremely comfortable in her character by this point, and could probably keep her personality up for hours if she wanted.

Evelyn Reese: lover, fighter, secretary. Adorned in a fox-fur and chain-smoking to boot, our dear Ms Reese really shines though with stories of her past loves, her family Christmas parties and her poofter friends. As she shimmies bow-legged across the stage, her pink-fluo shoes wobble along beside her, as if trailing a train-wrecked life.
