Consider My Heart Stopped is a show about the evolution of grief and the search for identity after losing a parent. Bren Tran—a queer, Asian American comedian from Chicago—shares how he literally became an adult overnight when his dad passed. He reflects on honoring his father’s legacy, caring for his aging immigrant mom, how he became enamored by the show Heartstopper ("Why am I like this?" IFYKYK), and so much more. Blending sharp Midwest wit with the gentle, deliberate tension of Tig Notaro—and just the right amount of gay panic—this special delivers humor, heart, and a messy, hopeful rebirth.
