Fans call her “Mother,” but Atsuko is “Father.”

That’s the premise of comedian Atsuko Okatsuka’s new Hulu stand-up comedy special, “Atsuko Okatsuka: Father.”

Sporting her signature bowl cut and idiosyncratic comedic flair, “Father” puts a spotlight on Okatsuka, who finds herself “professionally excelling while being oblivious to life’s basics. She recounts her amusingly relatable experiences such as a 7-year interval without doing laundry, and the revelation that marriage licenses precede weddings in her special.”

“My fans are always out there being like, ‘Atsuko is mother. She is mother. She is mothering!’ Oh, no, no, no. I am father,” she says in the trailer.

Okatsuka is not only a comedian and actress but also a viral phenomenon (She initiated the #DropChallenge in 2022), leaving her mark by “merging happiness with vulnerability alongside unforgettable narratives.”

“Father” is crafted, delivered, and executive produced by Atsuko Okatsuka. Other executive producers include Ally Engelberg and Ryan Harper Gray, with Gray also directing the special.

“Atsuko Okatsuka: Father” is the eighth Original special in Hulu’s stand-up comedy slate, Hularious, and joins the talents of Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Roy Wood Jr., Ilana Glazer and more.

It premieres Friday, June 13 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
