About This Event

Nate is set to present his compelling show, I'm Mom, at Subway Cowgate in Edinburgh on Thursday 6 August 2026. The performance, scheduled for a 4:30pm start, delves into the profound and complex aftermath of Nate's mother's death. His mother, a therapist based in Chicago, tragically succumbed to breast cancer when Nate was just eighteen years old. A particularly poignant aspect of their story is that Nate's mother chose to keep her illness a secret. This meant that neither she nor her loved ones had the chance to openly process their grief, nor were there opportunities for final goodbyes. I'm Mom navigates this deeply personal and challenging experience through the lens of humour, offering a unique and cathartic approach to exploring themes of loss, secrecy, and the enduring impact of parental relationships. The show promises an honest and often funny reflection on navigating life after an unexpected bereavement.
