In this comical tale, Victoria takes audiences on a whirlwind ride through her 23andMe journey, uncovering surprises and hilarity at every genetic turn. From unexpected relatives to re-living her 80’s childhood, no DNA stone is left unturned in this funny exploration of self-discovery. "Daddy Issues" is a heartfelt and sidesplitting examination of what it means to learn you are not, in fact, who you thought you were. With razor-sharp wit and infectious charm, Victoria brings her personal journey to life on stage, inviting audiences to laugh, cry, and perhaps even spit into their own DNA testing kits. Written & Performed by Victoria Kelleher.
