To Be A Boy

Skincare, Stand‑Up & Surviving Grief with Darren Harriott


Listen Later

Comedian Darren Harriot joins us for a raw and unsurprisingly funny conversation about grief, masculinity and growing up after losing his dad at 11. From childhood depression to adult shame, from stand‑up as survival to the pressure men feel to “hold it all together,” Darren opens up with honesty and insight. We were really grateful to talk to him about his story.

A powerful, hopeful episode for anyone raising boys, loving men, or figuring out their own story. If this resonates with you, we invite you to listen to Darren's show, Father Figuring: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/m002lzw8


This episode is supported by Koru Kids, a childcare marketplace helping busy families find brilliant, trusted part-time nannies.
