A Murderously Funny Evening with Adam Kay

Prepare for laughter, mystery, and a healthy dose of dark humour as bestselling author and former doctor Adam Kay returns to the stage with his brand-new show, "A Particularly Nasty Case" – coming to the Cidermill Theatre on Thursday, October 2nd at 7pm.

This is not your average book talk. This is Adam Kay.

If you've ever read "This is Going to Hurt" (or laughed until you cried at the TV adaptation), you already know what you're in for. Adam Kay’s unique mix of medical mayhem, gallows humour, and biting wit has made him one of the UK’s most celebrated writers and performers.

Now, he’s swapping surgical scrubs for sleuthing – and things are about to get... murderously funny.

Based on his first children’s novel, "A Particularly Nasty Case", this live show brings a brand-new mystery to life, blending storytelling, stand-up comedy, and classic Adam Kay charm. Expect laugh-out-loud moments, outrageous stories, and plenty of twists as he introduces a junior doctor-turned-detective in a hilariously dark whodunnit.

It’s a riotous evening of crime, comedy, and Kay – perfect for fans of his books, lovers of a good mystery, and anyone who enjoys their laughs with a sharp (scalpel-like) edge.
