8pm to 9pm Michael Akadiri (UK Tour Preview / Work In Progress) ( 60mins)
Following two hit UK tours, Biggest
Award in Comedy nominee and resident (junior) Doctor Michael
Akadiri prescribes a potent dose of his latest offering,
Don’t Call Me Uncle! Multi-award-winning comedian 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 (a term usually
reserved for elders!). This has sent him spiralling!
Join the ”‘hugely entertaining” (Chortle) Akadiri as he fights this
lurid allegation, contemplates the difference between perception
and reality all whilst keeping the laughs flowing with his
trademark “sharp-wit” (Chortle) & “politically punchy” (Guardian)
anecdotes.
As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch & Channel 4’s
Stand Up to Cancer. Tour support for Jason Manford.
As heard on Capital Xtra’s Breakfast Show, LBC & BBC Radio 4’s
Loose Ends. Winner - Komedia New Comedy Award Winner - Comedian of
Medicine Award, Haags Comedy Festival NextUp Biggest Award in
Comedy nominee.
