Adam Kay returns to the live stage with his hit show This Is Going To Hurt as the Apollo Theatre reopens its doors to a socially distanced audience after six months dark. This West End season will run for three weeks - Thursday 22 October to Sunday 8 November 2020.

This is Going to Hurt Live has been seen by over 200,000 people, including sell-out Edinburgh Fringe runs from 2016 to 2019, plus sell-out UK tours and multiple West End runs.
