About this Event
Modern fatherhood, quiet panic, deep love. Dark, warm stand-up from two dads abroad trying their best.
One hour of top-quality stand-up comedy about fatherhood in the 21st century, modern relationships, and the quiet terror of trying to raise children while barely understanding the country you live in.

Neil Sinclair is the only Englishman to have won the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s RAW Comedy Award. He trained at the infamous École Philippe Gaulier and is now raising three children in France — a country whose language, customs, and bureaucracy seem designed specifically to break him. His comedy is sharp, physical, and relentlessly honest about what happens when optimism meets paperwork.
James Elwa has four children and, on any given day, likes some of them more than others. He is 40 years old. He loves his wife deeply — just not constantly. James hates motivational quotes, because however good you become at something, you still have to do the dishes next to someone that tells you they are not dried properly. His comedy is dark, warm, painfully relatable, and — despite all evidence to the contrary — disturbingly funny.
Love is hard. Loneliness is worse. Parenting is ridiculous.
This is stand-up for anyone who’s ever tried their best and still been told they folded the laundry incorrectly.
