About Warren Martin
Warren Martin performs his free stand-up and character comedy show at Binkies Lounge over 45 minutes. The show follows Martin, a man who strives to be a perfect father but barely manages adequate — a fact obvious to everyone except himself. He takes the audience through his life from the birth of his children to their teenage years, covering work and interview misunderstandings, family holidays and oblique observations of life.
Why see this show?
An honest and warm comedy about the gap between the parent you intend to be and the one you actually are. Relatable, self-deprecating and free to attend — a low-risk, high-reward Fringe hour.
