Big Daddy Graham has 'Last Call' show at Media Theatre in June

WIP Sports Radio's Big Daddy Graham returns to Media Theatre in a show about his Dad, just in time for Father's Day.

 

Big Daddy Graham is headed to with his one-man show Last Call…Remembering My Dad. The iconic Philadephia comedian and WIP sports talk show host is performing the show June 14, 15 and 16. 

Last Call is based on Big Daddy Graham’s book about his father, and was released to rave reviews and strong sales. This will be the first time the show is produced in five years, since it played at the Society Hill Playhouse in 2007.

Last Call garnered critical acclaim as a stage presentation. Dan Deluca of the Philadelphia Inquirer stated that, “It’s earned a spot on my short list of crucial Father/Son stuff such as The Godfather movies, Springsteen’s Independence Day, and Phillip Roth’s Patrimony.

Each performance begins at 8 p.m. followed by a Q&A with a special guest moderator. On Thursday, June 14 the special guest is Big Daddy’s Graham’s “Two Funny Philly Guys” partner, Joe Conklin. Conklin is a fan of Last Call and says that, “It’s hilarious…a walk back to the old neighborhood with Dad.”
