After his youth, David Labi travelled across the world searching adventure and cheap thrills. Today he’s sober and faces the biggest challenge of his life: a child, a baby, his baby.
As the couscous and vomit fly past his ears, David ponders the big questions: how do you raise a child while you’re still growing up 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, disarmingly honest, moving and hilarious.
