It's A Dad Thing!

It's A Dad Thing! is a roller coaster ride of laughter, tears and songs (mainly laughter!), chaotic, fun, shocking and truthful. Pretty much like parenthood itself, except it runs for 2 hours and has an interval!

The show features a group of 5 dads who come together to build a playground for a local school fete and develops into a fast paced series of vignettes examining parenthood from a strictly male perspective, some serious, some hysterical, monologues, sketches and songs.

The show covers pre-natal classes (where even the men practice pelvic floor exercises), the actual births (six hours of Enya tapes - the horror!), attempts to cross the squeaky floorboards without waking the kids, introducing them to sharp knives, alcohol and pizza (someone has to!) - meet Superdad.

And that's just the first half.

Then we meet Zombie Dad losing a child in Toys 'R Us, using the same nappy twice, and saying farewell to the last symbol of youth, a '63 XL Falcon (what stories it could tell).
