David Labi
David Labi's Fatherload — a shamelessly honest, hilarious monologue about modern fatherhood and breaking the cycle of trauma.
After his youth, David Labi traveled halfway around the world in search of adventure and cheap thrills. Today, he's sober and facing the biggest challenge of his life: a child, a baby, his baby. As the couscous and vomit fly past his ears, David asks himself the big questions: How do you raise a child when you're still growing yourself? How do you break the cycle of intergenerational trauma? And what happens to you when you snort powdered milk?
Fatherload is the story of a man who hopes his children will inherit more than his shortcomings. A monologue about modern fatherhood, shamelessly honest, moving, and hilarious.
