Jeff Simmermon is a testicular cancer survivor who needed a lot of medical help to become a father. The same year that he started IVF treatments, Covid shut down the planet … and Jeff’s father was diagnosed with ALS. Jeff spent a full year traveling from NYC to VA to care for a dying father while while white-knuckling his own journey to fatherhood. It’s supposed to be funny. Jeff Simmermon has appeared on This American Life, The Moth podcast, and RISK, and has released two albums of standup and storytelling.
