F**k Them Kids

Charlie Mac built an independent touring operation around a blunt piece of parenting advice, parlaying viral podcast spots and self-published books into a stand-up set that treats domestic life with open fatigue. His best material works because he refuses to soften the edges. A sequence about a botched quick-cash scheme falls apart the moment he discovers a foot chase requires cardio he has not maintained since sprinting for a Popeyes chicken sandwich.

Filmed at the L.A. Comedy Club inside The STRAT in Las Vegas, the hour was directed by Kelsey Borlan Lee for the Laugh After Dark platform.

The set moves between dating younger women, physical insecurities, and an unusual household upbringing where he was convinced his mother was passing down lesbianism like a vampire bite. When front-row tables chime in, he takes the bait, pulling details from audience members about their own messy domestic lives.
