Raised in the 90s without a father, Award Winning Comic Shady Tupu grew up learning life the hard way — through streets, mistakes, and survival.

This show is about what happens when you break the cycle. Now a solo father raising his own kids, Shady flips the narrative with raw storytelling. From growing up without guidance, to learning how to be the parent he never had. This isn’t a sad story. It’s a dad story. He's here to prove not every Father suffers from No-Kid 19.

 

This show is R18 – contains colourful language and adult themes.
