TweetFollowing two hit UK tours, Biggest Award in Comedy nominee and resident (junior) Doctor Michael Akadiri prescribes Hastings with a potent preview of his latest offering, Don’t Call Me Uncle! Michael is proud to wear many hats: doctor, husband & father. Evidently, that list does not include uncle. Yet, despite only being in his early 30s, “the supremely talented and likeable” (Metro) doctor, for the first time ever, was recently called uncle in public - This has sent him spiralling! Join him as his fights this lurid allegation with his trademark “sharp-wit” and “hugely entertaining” (Chortle) anecdotes.

I found the story more informative than amusing. Having experienced the cancer business, chemo, radiotherapy with my wife and then for myself I know parts of cancer treatment be comedic and a little haphazard but Sarah's experiences came across as a little self indulgent. Some of the NHS references resonated but is it really understaffed....no it isn't. It is just inefficient and frankly poor 'value for money'. I felt sorry for Sarah who clearly is a naturally funny person but she needs to tell another story, find a different vehicle. This show goes to Edinburgh. It needs a hell of a tweak and some lessons in how to use the technology. Good luck with it. Return with something a little more subtle. By the way my wife died, not of cancer. Just remember joking about serious illnesses is tricky. I am sure you are a nice person...let that part of your personality come through.

A great set from Simon Brodkin. We laughed lots! The support guy, Jed Salisbury was great too - he should definitely have a slot next year. Thank you for another awesome HFCF. Please can you try and get Troy Hawke back again for next year? We saw him at the Piper just Pre lock down... brilliant 👏
