Thirties
In what Slim calls 'the sweet and sour' decade of his life, he tells of how he balanced making audiences laugh, and caring for his elderly father.
Comedian and legend of the black circuit, Slim, remembers his thirties.
With his children all grown up, and his comedy career on the rise, Slim is looking forward to a decade of freedom and success. However, he finds himself in a new role. Carer. His father is now elderly and living with diabetes, so Slim is looking after him. His dad's refusal to give up sugar, and his sneaky ways with the doctor might frustrate Slim at the time, but can he also learn valuable life lessons from his old man?
