About Dating

Disapproving of his career and girlfriend, can Nathan's family be persuaded to accept either? With Curtis Walker. From March 2012.

Nathan struggles with his family who disapprove not only of his career but his girlfriend too.

Can he persuade them to accept either?

This is the story of young, up-and-coming comedian Nathan Caton, who becomes the first in his family to graduate from University - only to opt for a career in comedy - much to his family's annoyance who want him to get a 'proper job' using his architecture degree.

Each episode shows the criticism, interference and rollercoaster ride that Nathan endures from his family as he pursues his career against their wishes.

A mix of Nathan's stand-up intercut with scenes from his family life.

Written by Nathan Caton.

Additional material by Ola and Maff Brown.
