Shows · Daffy Dill

A lighthearted musical comedy revolving around the misadventures of a lovable but scatterbrained young man whose well-meaning attempts to help everyone around him lead to one comic disaster after another. His romantic pursuits and professional blunders drive the farcical plot through a series of increasingly absurd situations.
