About Difficult Dads

Nathan's Dad celebrates his 50th birthday, but resents being made to feel middle-aged by his son.

So, he challenges him to see who is The Man of the House.

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.

Will Nathan be able to persist and follow his dreams? Or will he give in to his family's interference?

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