Following his Biggest Award in Comedy nominated debut and subsequent hit tour, multi-award-winning comedian and junior doctor Michael Akadiri arrives in Leeds with his sophomore show, Trust Me I’m a Daddy.
Get your mind out of the gutter - Not that sort of daddy! He’s merely become a father.
“The supremely talented and likeable” (Metro) Michael has long juggled comedy and medicine but now he’s thrown parenting into the mix too. Surely, something must give?!
Join this ”‘hugely entertaining” (Chortle) comedian as he navigates the real-life obstacle course of childrearing, parenting under the ‘junior doctor gaze’ and ultimately the true sacrifices required of a daddy.
As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch & Channel 4s Stand Up to Cancer.
As heard on Capital Xtra’s Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends and Times Radio.
