Stand-up comedians have mastered the art of coping with these frustrations by challenging the norms, values, and power structures. Albeit all dads aren’t stand-up comedians and every “dad joke” may not be funny, they can be just as influential. This Showcase will explore the intricacies of stand-up performances by Detroit comedians who are also fathers. They have successfully integrated fatherhood experiences into their comedy. Horace Sanders, a “PaPa Was” interviewee, well-known Detroit stand-up comedian, and U-M Alumnus, will be the host.
