ADAM KAY: UNDOCTORED - THE WORLD'S TWELFTH-FAVOURITE DOCTOR RETURNS WITH UNDOCTORED, ON TOUR ACROSS IRELAND/NI

The world's twelfth-favourite doctor returns with Undoctored, following a sell-out run across England and a month as the best-selling show at the Edinburgh Fringe, with Adam Kay bringing the show to audiences across Ireland/NI in February 2027.

This is Going to Hurt was a literary sensation, selling three million copies and becoming a multi-BAFTA-winning BBC series. Undoctored follows on from This is Going to Hurt, leaving audiences laughing and crying with Adam's unique tales of life on and off the wards. It also contains the 'degloving' story, because people ask for refunds if they don't hear it.

 

Adam Kay said: “Assuming there is actually going to be a 2027 – it’s looking 50-50 at the moment – I can’t think of a better place to spend a whole month of it than touring Ireland and NI with Undoctored. Last time I was there I got the warmest welcome, despite sharing some of my most unpalatable stories, and I’m very much looking forward to revolting you all again, very soon.”

 

"Very funny and very moving - Adam Kay has done it again, the talented c***" Charlie Brooker

"Hilarious - this show will have you in stitches" The Standard
