Adam Kay: This is Going to Hurt at the Garrick Theatre for a strictly limited run!

British comedy writer, actor and comedian Adam Kay returns to London yet again! His hilarious, best-selling show, This is Going to Hurt (Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor) returns following overwhelming ticket demand at the Garrick Theatre and sell-out shows at both here and 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This limited run from 12 to 17 August will sell fast so be sure to book your Adam Kay tickets ASAP! 

What to expect from Adam Kay: This is Going to Hurt (Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor)?

The comedic show is based on Adam Kay's Sunday Times bestselling book of the same name. As an outsider looking in, you'll learn everything you need to know and more about the NHS junior doctor's many experiences, trials, and tribulations, all of which he recorded in his diary during his time at the NHS. Adam Kay: This is Going to Hurt is a highly entertaining hour of fun that features hilarious wordplay, funny songs, and squeamish hospital horror stories that will make you both squirm in your seat and laugh yourself silly. The show has received a fleet of five-star reviews from both critics and audiences alike and stands by the old saying that 'laughter is the best medicine.'
