John Tothill has had quite the year. He deliberately contracted malaria to fund his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe debut. Then, whilst performing a show about this at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe, his appendix completely burst and he was just days away from dying from sepsis. Miraculously, he recovered to finish the Fringe, and now the 2024 Chortle Best Newcomer nominee is taking the show on his first ever UK tour. 

One of 2024 and 2023’s Best-Reviewed Edinburgh Fringe Shows (British Comedy Guide). As seen on Comedy Central Live. Tour support for Fiona Allen.

Directed by Alex Cartlidge and Kathryn Craigmyle.
