(Reviews from the
artSMart team currently in Grahamstown at the National Arts Festival)
60 hilarious minutes of a man's point of view on pregnancy,
birth and fatherhood. (Review by Pauline Dalais)
Comedian Chris Forrest takes us on a hilarious journey of
the unsuspecting father-to-be. He is fully daddy-kitted with baby harnessed to
his chest in a carrier, diapers and feeding cups dangling from his jeans
pockets, baby bag, toy bag and crib.
He makes jabs about TRYING for a baby and sowing his wild
oats. Not forgetting the Blackberry application that tells you how to try! We
travel the journeys of the trimesters, starting with urine tests to confirm
pregnancy, the mood swings of the first trimester, the joys of the first scan
and learning the golden rule of never arguing with a pregnant woman.
Onwards onto the second trimester which is dubbed the
"happy trimester" and where you get to know the sex of your baby.
Baby Expo's and baby product demonstrations are the trip for
the third trimester. We then get to the anxious birthing process and the joys
of holding the newborn offspring. This is when you realise that you have
entered the world of dirty diapers and sleepless nights!
Catch the rest of Who’s
Your Daddy?’s run at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown at the Scout
