About this show
Warren Martin, the architect of his own troubles, is determined to play the role of the perfect father despite being spectacularly underqualified for the job. In reality, he’s a barely functioning adult trying to survive parenthood. Through stories of parenting disasters, workplace misunderstandings, family holidays and painfully skewed observations of everyday life, Warren charts the chaos of raising children from birth to teenage years. Honest, self-destructive and sharply funny, this show offers a hilarious glimpse into ordinary family life through the eyes of a man permanently out of his depth.
