About the show:


Jenny, a teenager connected to the core, spends her days on her console, headphones on, chaining together headshots and punchlines. Her father, Patrick, an old-school business owner, sells hangers and thinks "TikTok" is a folk dance. He understands nothing about the digital world... and distrusts it like the plague. But when the family is on the verge of ruin, father and daughter will have to team up to save the day. Their mission: to participate together in a video game tournament with 150,000 euros up for grabs. Except Patrick has never touched a controller in his life...

 

 What follows is a training session as chaotic as it is hilarious, confrontations full of tough love, and a dive into the world of gaming as seen by those who don't understand anything about it... but are willing to try.

 

 With punchy lines, live gaming scenes, and offbeat choreography, Help, My Dad Is a Geek is a modern, high-energy family comedy that speaks to both teenage gamers and their overwhelmed parents.

 

An irresistible, close-knit, and powerful duo. Their on-stage energy hits the mark in every scene, in a script packed with humor, tenderness, and geek references.

 

A play that lightly and profoundly addresses the clash of generations in the digital age, where love, video games, bankruptcy, sharing... and lots of laughter are mixed together.
