Cool Dad is Kasra Jalilipour’s leather daddy alter-ego who challenges the trans exclusion in Gay spaces, through autobiographical/autofictional story telling.
“He the best daddy in the world. He is a Lover, a fighter, a legend, a myth and a master of all trades. His one problem in life, besides being too sexy, is that he is hugely underestimated by the general public.
Since 2018 Cool Dad has features in many perofmances accross the UK, and his perfomances texts have been published in publications such as Sticky Fingers Publishing and BitterSweet Review.
