With his incredible sense of self-deprecation, he tells us how his life and his deepest convictions were turned upside down by the belated arrival of his first child. For an hour packed with nonstop action, Mathieu takes us on a journey through the tumultuous world of a newly minted father trying to juggle the absurdity of a world on the brink of chaos while learning the ropes of fatherhood.
How can he reconcile his traditional upbringing with the new wave of modern fatherhood? How can he explain gender concepts to his son… when he doesn’t even know his way around TikTok? And above all, how can he avoid coming across as a clueless boomer?
With his unique talent for turning everyday life into comedy, Mathieu treats us to a show in which he talks about his mistakes, his blunders, and the lessons he’s learning from his little boy—who, though barely born, already seems to know more about life than he does. A hilarious and moving journey in which Mathieu delivers his most personal—and at the same time, most universal—show yet.
