Worthing Musical Comedy Society (WMCS) is set to perform The Full Monty in May, in an unforgettable partnership with Dad La Soul. This collaboration aims to highlight the importance of men’s mental health, fatherhood, friendship, and vulnerability, while showcasing the impact of these themes on modern society.
Breaking Down Stigmas
- Men’s mental health: A topic that has long been stigmatized, yet essential to discuss and address.
- Fatherhood: The often-overlooked, yet vital role men play in their children’s lives.
- Friendship: The unsung heroes of men’s lives, providing emotional support and connection.
- Vulnerability: The key to building strong relationships and overcoming adversity.
Dan Flanagan, founder of Dad La Soul, emphasizes the importance of breaking down these stigmas: “At Dad La Soul, we love to sing, dance, and laugh. But we also want to back the dads, and show them that it’s okay to be vulnerable. This show’s got heart, humour, and real talk about what it means to be a man.”
A Show for the Ages
| Themes | Key Messages |
|---|---|
| Men’s mental health | Reducing stigma and promoting open conversations |

Victoria Emerson, chair of WMCS, highlights the show’s impact: “This show speaks so deeply to what it means to be a man in today’s world. It’s not just about the spectacle – it’s about showing up for each other, lifting one another up, and finding strength in vulnerability. That’s what WMCS is all about, and it’s what Dad La Soul does so brilliantly too.”
A Special Event
“We’re proud to be part of it,” says Dan Flanagan, founder of Dad La Soul. “This show’s got heart, humour, and a massive dose of real talk about what it means to be a man.”
Big love to the cast for baring all—physically and emotionally.
On Thursday, May 8, the Dad La Soul team will attend the show to raise awareness about their work supporting dads in the area. During the interval, Dan Flanagan’s TED Talk will be shown, offering a personal perspective on modern masculinity and the importance of connection.
