Comedy Central Presents

Bil Dwyer

Comedy Central · 2001 · 22 min

A sarcastic look at the exhaustion of marriage and fatherhood.

Bil Dwyer delivers a set heavily grounded in the frustrations of domestic life, running his material on marriage and fatherhood through a sarcastic Midwestern filter. He admits to a lingering jealousy of divorced dads, realizes that petting zoos are far more horrific than nostalgia suggests, and imagines what it would be like to open for the Rolling Stones. The half-hour performance aired in September 2001, arriving right in the middle of his recognizable run as the play-by-play co-host of BattleBots on the same network.
