Heather McMahan pays tribute to her dad in her new Netflix special, Son I Never Had.
, her father does her the honor of escorting her down the staircase for her entrance to her big night. Rather than, according to custom, extending his arm to her for this touching moment, McMahan takes a different approach, descending the stairs with her father’s ashes in tow, encased in an urn, the first of many morbidly hilarious, cheeky, and loud-out-loud-funny moments found in her hour-long performance.
Much unlike her petite sister and dainty mother, McMahan proudly wears her father’s build on stage, showcasing a beautiful, full figure embossed head-to-toe in Gucci. McMahan celebrates her genes, this inheritance from her father lending itself to a close relationship with him over the years, while illuminating the still-rampant sizeism that exists within society today.
Heather McMahan has a way of subverting expectations, bringing audiences along through her way of seeing the world, rewarding us with depth, complexity, and heart in her punchlines that encourage viewers to look at the story in a new light. She possesses an electric wit and the ability to turn a joke on its head for guaranteed laughs.
After sharing that her father bought a casket too small for his frame, McMahan transitions back to talking about the topic of fatphobia. She describes a rather unsavory LuluLemon retreat for which she was invited as an “influencer,” a label she acquired from her quick ascension in Instagram activity during her public displays of grieving, but the luxury athleisure brand failed to supply sizes in their clothes for McMahan to wear while on the outing.
