Adam Kay – Undoctored
03 March 2024 @ 7.30pm
About Adam Kay – Undoctored
The nation’s twelfth-favourite doctor brings his brand new show to Oxford, fresh from a record-breaking run at the Edinburgh Fringe and a sell-out season in the West End.
This is Going to Hurt was a literary sensation, selling three million copies and becoming a multi-BAFTA-winning BBC series.
Undoctored follows on from This is Going to Hurt, leaving audiences laughing and crying with Adam’s unique tales of life on and off the wards. It also contains the ‘degloving’ story because people ask for refunds if they don’t hear it.

About the book
Welcome to the life of a junior doctor: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a constant tsunami of bodily fluids, and the hospital parking meter earns more than you.
Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the NHS front line.
Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this diary is everything you wanted to know – and more than a few things you didn’t – about life on and off the hospital ward.
Sunday Times Number One Bestseller for over eight months and winner of a record FOUR National Book Awards: Book of the Year, Non-Fiction Book of the Year, New Writer of the Year and Zoe Ball Book Club Book of the Year.
“Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble and entirely loveable.” —Stephen Fry
