World's Greatest Dad(?) Comes to Northfield Public Library June 6

Evanston comedian Jimmy Carrane is thrilled to be back performing his one-person show, "World's Greatest Dad(?)" on June 6 at the Northfield Public Library!

About World's Greatest Dad(?)

After 10 years in group therapy, Jimmy Carrane is still unhappy that he is not as famous as some of the people he started out doing improv with. So when his therapist suggests that Jimmy and his wife have a baby to bring more joy into their life, Jimmy sets out to become a first-time dad at age 52, at the same time that his own father is dying. From fertility treatments to a disastrous funeral, Carrane takes us on a funny and poignant roller coaster of life and death and shares his discovery that you don’t have to be the “greatest” to be a good dad.
