"You realize you're watching something quietly revolutionary." – Stage and Cinema
After years fearing he'd never be a father, gay Armenian-American Haig "Hike" Chahinian became the happiest dad of a bouncing Black biracial baby girl. Seeking to be the best Janelle Monáe-listening, Black Girl Magic-supporting, antiracist papa ever, he instead stumbles through the humbling and oft-hilarious fumbles of fatherhood in multiracial America. Inspired by his viral essays in New York Times Modern Love, Cosmopolitan, and O The Oprah Magazine, Best. Dad. NEVER. is searing, intimate, richly relatable comedic storytelling about what we inherit, what we pass down, and the inherent conflict in striving to be good. Creative consulting by Greg Walloch (Hasan Minhaj's Peabody Award-winning Homecoming King).
