Adam is bringing his This Is Going To Hurt Live show to Australia in April 2024, starting in Melbourne before heading to Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.

This hilarious live show about life on and off the hospital wards was a breakaway hit in the UK, seen by over 300,000 people, including 50 sell-out nights in the West End.

He was the best-selling act of the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe. He has released 10 books and sold over five million books in total. Adam is a proud patron of The Lullaby Trust, Doctors in Distress and The Laura Hyde Foundation. This is his first tour of Australia. Basically, don’t miss it.
