Dottie is an eager to please 50s style diner server on their first day on the job – where the baby is the customer, and caregivers are along for the ride.

As the server waits on their demanding clientele (imagine babies doing what babies do best – creating adorable chaos!) the server grows increasingly frazzled – and more and more entertaining!

Stimulating for tiny audience members with sensory play served up throughout the show, and hilarious for parents / adults watching  their loved ones take on roles in an unfolding comedy.

Sophie Duker is back and warming up her show before she heads out on tour!
