This is Going to Hurt...

Welcome to 97-hour weeks. Welcome to life and death decisions. Welcome to a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Welcome to earning less than the hospital parking meter. Wave goodbye to your friends and relationships . . . Welcome to the life of a junior doctor.

Award-winning comedian Adam Kay shares entries from his diaries as a junior doctor in this ‘electrifying’ (Guardian) evening of stand-up and music. 

Absolute sell-out Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019, Soho Theatre 2017, UK tours and multiple West End runs in 2018 and 2019.

Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, comedian and former junior doctor Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the NHS front line. Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking by turns, this is everything you wanted to know – and more than a few things you didn't – about life on and off the hospital ward. And yes, it may leave a scar.

Adam's accompanying book, 'This is Going to Hurt' is a Sunday Times bestseller and is being turned into a major BBC series. Copies will be available to purchase and for signature after the performance. 

'Intersperses horror stories form the NHS frontline with a catalogue of sublimely silly spoof songs, and some blissfully brilliant wordplay' ★★★★★ Mail on Sunday
