David Labi

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.
