The tour will see Adam Kay share entries from his diaries as a junior doctor in an evening of stand-up and music.

It will also feature new stories from his forthcoming book ‘Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients’ which has been adapted into a new BBC One series.

As an award-winning live performer, Adam has sold out multiple Edinburgh Fringe runs, West End seasons and UK and international tours.

On the all-new tour, Adam said: 'It feels like the natural progression of my surreal 2022 to go from Ben Whishaw playing me on television to performing at Wembley.

“2023’s really going to have up its game – perhaps I’ll be made king or move to Jupiter.


“I can’t wait to get This is Going to Hurt… More out on the road and subject the UK to more of my repulsive stories.”

His book, 'This is Going to Hurt' has been a Sunday Times number one bestseller for over a year with over 2.5 million copies sold.
