Stand-up show by award-winning comedian Michael Akadiri, who is also a former junior doctor.
Michael Akadiri brings his show Don't Call Me Uncle! to Social on Thursday 18 February, with doors opening at 7:00pm. It's a stand-up night with Akadiri as the sole feature, so the whole evening is his.
If you haven't come across him before, there's a fair bit to go on. He's a multi-award-winning comedian and a former junior doctor, a husband and father who's also practised medicine. He picked up the Komedia New Comedy Award and the Comedian of Medicine Award at the Haags Comedy Festival NextUp, was a London finalist for the BBC New Comedy Award, and was nominated for the Komedia New Comedy Award's NextUp Biggest in Comedy.
That medical background isn't just a footnote; he's built a career around it. His work has appeared on Comedy Central LIVE, ITV2's Stand Up Sketch Show, and Channel 4's Stand Up to Cancer, and he's been on the radio with Capital Xtra's Breakfast Show, LBC, and BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends. He's toured with Jason Manford and Emmanuel Sonubi, so he's used to playing the bigger rooms. The critics have had their say too: the Metro called him 'supremely talented and likeable', Chortle described him as 'hugely entertaining', and the Guardian labelled him 'politically punchy'.
