Comedian Allan Sidley Has a New Take on ‘Daddy Issues’ Now that He Is a Proud ‘Girl Dad’

When comedian and author Allan Sidley does a gig about Daddy Issues, the new father of a beautiful baby girl has quite a bit of material to add to his fodder.

Looking forward to his upcoming Friday, July 14 show at 8 p.m. at the Church of Satire in Hanover, Pa., he is well aware that his six-month-old daughter Sunny’s arrival has upended his life in a myriad of ways.

In case you hadn't noticed, we're a little Star Tours obsessed [1] here on /Film. As Star Wars fans, the original ride was usually the highlight of an already awesome trip to Disney and now, the fact that they're updating it with state of the art 3D effects and 54 variable stories featuring a ton of classic locations [2] and characters [3], is almost too cool for words. In tracking the progress [4] of the ride, officially called Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, opening May 20 at Walt Disney World in Florida and June 3 at Disneyland in California, one of the questions has always been, how does that variable story scenario work?
