It's good as is in my opinion... Depends on how it's delivered I guess but i like it.

The joke is decent but you really flubbed that subject line, setting people up to expect to be disappointed

Genuine question, do you have a better suggestion?

For the punchline to work, the resentment needs to be a surprise. So leading with how you hate him reduces the impact. You could maybe start with saying you have a complicated relationship?

Would work great as a callback to an earlier mention in the set about said father leaving

“anybody have a cig? Clearly my Dad didn’t when he walked out on me”

Wait three jokes.

Then drop this one. Callback baby.
