Joe Dombrowski - Dad on Arrival

In his latest special, Dad on Arrival, Joe Dombrowski steps into his biggest role yet...Dad. Filmed live at Olsen Run Comedy Club in Eugene, Oregon, the hour captures Joe on the brink of fatherhood as he and his husband prepare for their first child, while realizing he may be wildly unprepared. With his signature sharp wit, Joe dives into the chaos of IVF, the shock of how little he knows about the female anatomy, and the trend of babies being given names better suited for retirement communities. He also hilariously tackles the question every gay couple hears: “So... who’s the dad?” Outside of baby prep, life doesn’t slow down. Joe finds himself parenting his own Midwestern parents after a late-in-life move, navigating an older neighborhood where he and his husband are somehow the youngest residents, and fielding his mother’s very specific post-life plans. Blending stories from his former career as a kindergarten teacher with the realities of impending fatherhood, Joe delivers a warm, upbeat, and relatable hour about family, growing up, and the beautiful panic of being handed a tiny human and told, “Good luck.”
