Adam Kay: This is Going To Hurt @ The TLT

BAFTA-winning comedian and former junior doctor Adam Kay brings his uniquely hilarious and brutally honest diaries to the stage in an “electrifying” evening of stand-up (The Guardian). Based on his multi-million-selling book and the multi-award-winning TV series, this acclaimed live show has already sold over 350,000 tickets, cementing Adam Kay as one of the most compelling voices in modern comedy.

Drawing directly from his time on the NHS frontline, Adam masterfully balances laugh-out-loud comedy with moments of genuine poignancy. His storytelling intersperses jaw-dropping medical horror stories with sublimely silly spoof songs, razor-sharp observations, and blissfully brilliant wordplay. The result is a show that’s as thought-provoking as it is funny — offering a rare, human insight into life behind the hospital curtains.

Praised by critics and audiences alike, the show has been described as “hilarious and heartbreaking” by Charlie Brooker, while the Mail on Sunday awarded it ★★★★★ for its fearless mix of comedy and truth. Adam Kay’s ability to find humour in the most intense situations creates a live experience that lingers long after the final laugh.
