Single fatherhood (the sequel to prison). Lost his business. Lost his wife. Now he's losing his mind – while looking after three kids on his own. This comedian, once jailed for telling jokes about being Muslim in Malaysia, faces his toughest gig yet: single fatherhood. Is he keeping it together? Barely. But the alternative is putting them out on the street. More freedom for him, sure. But not a good story to tell on stage. A stand-up show about survival, single parenthood and trying not to fall apart.
