A Gaggle

Dive headfirst into the chaos, beauty, and absurdity of parenting in 2025.

Performed by Willy Appelman (NBC Bring The Funny, Comedy Central) the show draws from Willy’s own journey as a father of four (yes, 4) including stories of ER visits, a botched vasectomy, a fiasco with a urinal cake, and a toddler’s deep, deep obsession with Chopin.

Blending storytelling, video, and cultural commentary, A Gaggle explores the messiness of modern fatherhood with raw honesty and painful storytelling. Willy asks the big question: Should you even have kids? The show pokes at this existential dilemma while also honoring the strange magic of raising a family in today’s world. From poop jokes to poignant reflections, A Gaggle explores the shifting landscape of the American household, where big families are now seen as either wildly impractical or quietly suspicious.
