Monologue by Arman Nurtazin
In this episode, Arman Nurtazin talks about the most touching and at the same time the most challenging experience of his life — what it’s like to be a father. His stand-up turns into a family confession, where each memory is filled with irony, laughter, and unexpected revelations.
Arman shares observations about his five-year-old daughter, who constantly surprises him with her words, actions, and childlike honesty. At first, he expected to see a 'little princess' in her, but over time he realized that he resembles her more than he thought. From random childhood slips of the tongue to a literal perception of the world — in these stories, every parent will recognize themselves.
He humorously talks about the challenges of parenting, compares his own childhood with the present, and reflects on how approaches to raising children have changed, and how kids today know how to assert their personal boundaries. Arman touches on important topics — from bullying and friendships in the neighborhood to the value of personal time and self-care — but does so lightly, without moralizing, and always with a smile and self-irony.
These are not just stories about children — it’s an honest look at parents’ lives, where fatigue coexists with joy, and funny misunderstandings turn into family legends. Arman shows that fatherhood is an endless comedy with elements of drama, where the main lesson is to be able to laugh together with your children and at yourself.
