With a complicated family history, a difficult childhood and a lifetime of unanswered questions, comedian Darren Harriott embarks on a raw, thought-provoking and surprisingly funny journey into fatherhood, family and identity.

Darren’s father tragically took his own life in prison when Darren was just 11 years old. Now, at 36, Darren has reached an age his father never did — a milestone that forces him to confront difficult questions about the past, his family, and whether he wants to become a father himself.

As part of the series, Darren speaks with family members, friends, psychologists and other experts to explore fatherhood, generational trauma and the lasting impact of childhood experiences.

At this special live recording, Darren brings those themes to the stage in a stand-up show that is honest, reflective and sharply funny, examining — and poking fun at — the complexities, contradictions and expectations surrounding fatherhood.

The nominees were revealed this evening at the ARIAS nominations party at Spotify’s London HQ, judged by leading figures from across the industry, an ARIAS nomination is one of the highest accolades in UK audio.

Scott Bennett: Blood Sugar Baby tells the amazing true story of Scott and Jemma Bennett’s infant daughter Olivia and her battle with a rare genetic condition, how she was nearly fatally misdiagnosed and how Scott challenged the hospital to improve their care - by taking his dad’s advice to "Put a tie on".

First-time parents Scott and Jemma are taken from the apparently idyllic world of having a new-born baby who sleeps through the night and suddenly plunged into months of misguided treatments, genetics, bizarre side effects and private jets.

Recorded in Scott and Jemma’s home town of Nottingham - where the real-life story began - this is an emotional show about a critically ill baby but it’s also a really funny one with a happy and hopeful ending.

Thank you to my family, everybody at Glasgow International Comedy Festival, and my agents. To everybody else who was nominated - they’re fantastic comedian and fantastic people. Cheers!'
