Jilberto's dad skipped his wedding, his brother just had a baby and everyone keeps asking when he's having kids. He's not. But he'll deliver an hour of comedy about it: which honestly seems healthier. ¡Ay! Papi is a stand-up hour about fatherhood from someone who isn't one. As a gay, first-generation Mexican American, Jilberto Soto examines the daddies who disappeared, the fathers that tried and the quiet pressure on men to step into the role... eventually. Big questions. Small family. One gay son with a lot to say.
