Darby clicks on a Facebook ad for sperm donation and sets sail across the seas of queer existential mayhem, discovering the absurdities of clinical procreation and considering his own future as a potential gay parent. Join musical comedian Darby James for his multi-award-winning cabaret about the process of sperm donation. As he navigates questionnaires, psychological evaluations and questions of parenthood, Darby finds himself stranded as a seaman in moral purgatory, facing the question: should we be having children?
