From the hospital ward to the stage — a hilarious and heartbreaking medical misadventure.

Here’s the diagnosis: you need to laugh. The prescription: head to The Opera House in May.

BAFTA Award-winner Adam Kay has a hilarious show based on personal diaries from his days as a junior doctor in the UK. His book, ‘This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor’ was a runaway success. So much so, that BBC made it into a comedy TV series. It is also now a stage show.

Come and hear about life on and off the hospital wards from a guy who’s been there. The show has been described as heartbreaking, brutally funny, and electrifying. When the show toured Australia and New Zealand in 2024 it was a sellout.

“Scalpel-sharp humour and searing insight.”
