"project description"(Untitled) One Person Show - This is a one-person comedy show about meeting my Jamaican biological father for the first time. While taking the audience on the journey of finally meeting him, the story of meeting bio-dad, I will go off on tangents to something touching on politics, our society, marriage, and the general state of the world from my perspective. One of the goals of the show is that it should mimic our collective A.D.D. and addiction to social media. While always bringing us back to the central story of meeting my bio dad.
