Son I Never Had

Filmed at the Lexington Opera House, Heather McMahan’s debut stand-up special explores a wide range of personal and relatable topics including body image, the trials of fertility and IVF, and the complexities of female beauty standards. Balancing humor with vulnerability, McMahan also addresses deep grief, treating the special as an extended, comedic eulogy for her late father while sharing stories about wellness retreats and “emergency weight.”
