This Is Going to Hurt is the hilarious, at times horrifying, and occasionally heart-breaking diary of a former junior doctor turned comedian.

Adam’s book, was an instant Sunday Times number one bestseller and is being turned into an 8-part BBC series.

It has spent over four months at number one in the charts, and over seven months in the top ten, achieved number one bestseller status internationally and has won numerous awards. Join him for an evening discussing the book in more depth, followed by a Q&A.
