Growing Up Daddy

Growing Up Daddy is a groundbreaking one-man play written and performed by spoken-word phenomena, Kraal “Kayo” Charles.

In this semi-autobiographical piece, Kayo uses poetry and hip hop to explore what happens when a rising artist-entrepreneur is suddenly faced with impending fatherhood. With humor and honesty, Kayo conveys the complexities of a man caught between embracing and rejecting his newest and greatest role. He captures the essence of memoir by recounting tales of whimsical women, fair-weather friends, his devout grandmother and his strange Caribbean father. Growing Up Daddy is an honest depiction of what every father endures, when their sense of responsibility challenges their passion.
