Chris Gethard - who Time Magazine recently said is “a self-deprecating, punk-rock-loving New Jersey native who offers a master class in empathy, compassion, and kindness” - returns in a thoughtful and hard-hitting new show. Known for the critically acclaimed special Career Suicide as well as his unforgettable characters in shows like The Office and Broad City, Gethard is currently taking on his most prolific role yet: as a father. Charting the emotional experiences and revelations each new parent faces, A Father and the Sun is a hilarious ride bursting with palpable punchlines as Gethard tenderly explores generational differences, masculinity, what it means to be a dad, and the truly unexpected joys of lawn maintenance.
