Before Adam Kay became an award-winning comedian he used to be a junior doctor... and he kept a secret diary.

He turned his hilarious and sometimes terrifying experiences into a book called This Is Going To Hurt, toured it at the Edinburgh Fringe, and brought it London's West End.

Now he's updated the show with some brand-new material... including the infamous 'degloving' story (because people ask for refunds if they don't hear it!)

Mail On Sunday: ★★★★★ "Intersperses horror stories from the NHS frontline with a catalogue of sublimely silly spoof songs, and some blissfully brilliant wordplay"
