What Sorry Dad Is Really About
Sorry Dad is Brittany Schmitt’s unflinching look at adulthood when nothing goes according to plan. She dissects re-entering the dating world after divorce and the grind of therapy without easy fixes, all while confronting grief head-on.
The special weaves post-divorce dating misadventures with relatable family stories about her high-achieving scientist sister, a father who taught her to laugh at everything, and a mother who left a complicated legacy behind. Rather than shying away from heavy topics, Brittany zeroes in on the specific, absurd details that make the jokes land.
Brittany’s takes on grief are rooted in the idea that even life’s hardest moments can still be shockingly funny. Pain doesn’t get a pass. Instead, it gets examined, challenged, and sometimes roasted.
