2 Dad or Not 2 Dad is a brutally funny stand-up hour about growing up without a dad… and accidentally becoming one.

After his father left when he was eight, Jim Bob looks back on childhood confusion, half-baked adult explanations, Father’s Day dread and learning life lessons from late-night TV instead of “the talk”.

Fast-forward to the present and he’s now a dad himself — facing food battles, cup meltdowns, bedtime hostage negotiations and the slow realisation that parenting is ten thousand jobs performed while exhausted. With sharp observations, nostalgia, playful crowdwork and no-filter honesty, he connects childhood pain to modern parenting chaos.

Raw, relatable and packed with big laughs, this is a full-throttle Fringe hour about family, fatherhood, love, and secretly dreaming of five minutes’ peace. Strong language and adult themes throughout.
