About the show

David Labi spent years escaping across the globe. Now he's sober, stuck and facing his greatest challenge: a baby. And it's his. In Fatherload, David asks: What do we inherit from our parents, and what do we pass on? Can we break cycles of trauma? And how do you raise a child when you've barely raised yourself? Hilarious, moving and brutally honest, Fatherload is a story of masculinity, inherited damage and trying to do better. 'A born storyteller… spot-on and hilarious' (De Standaard). 'Weaves humour and vulnerability without being sentimental' (Pzazz).
