Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood with My Father

Jack and his father Michael are usually quite humorous with their understated comedy, but somehow this show didn't quite hit the mark. I've seen other comedians or actors share all this material previously, especially ham fisted attempts for a male to demonstrate what a female goes through with pregnancy and birth. The over the top protestations of how difficult and painful it must be are lame. Anyone who's been through it already knows this, it's not remotely funny for a man to pretend he gets the experience. It was all just too full of cliche and hyperbole. Here's a tip - the show will be way better if he can make comedy from it after the baby is born and it's real birth and real parenthood , both of which will offer a wealth of material.
