The nation's twelfth-favourite doctor returns for his first month at the Fringe since 2016. The book that was born at that original 2016 Fringe show, This is Going to Hurt, became a literary sensation, selling three million copies and becoming a multi-award-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. The show also contains some favourite moments from This is Going to Hurt, because people ask for refunds if they don't get the ‘degloving’ story.
Adam Kay said ‘Reading from my diaries at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016 absolutely changed my life, and I’m absolutely thrilled to return to The Pleasance, where it all started. Although this time I’m in a slightly bigger room and travelling around in a Swarovski helicopter.’
