Author and comedian Adam Kay has announced a new tour today (February 7).

Titled 'This is Going to Hurt…More', the live comedy show will feature brand new stories from Adam's forthcoming second memoir Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients as well as entries from his popular diaries as a junior doctor.

Adam's first book This is Going to Hurt has been adapted for television with the first episode of the seven-part drama airing on BBC One tomorrow (February 8).

'This is Going to Hurt…More' will begin in September at Edinburgh's Usher Hall, with the final show being held at SSE Arena Wembley in London.

On the new tour, Adam said: "It feels like the natural progression of my surreal 2022 to go from Ben Whishaw playing me on television to performing at Wembley. 2023's really going to have up its game – perhaps I'll be made king or move to Jupiter.

"I can't wait to get 'This is Going to Hurt…More' out on the road and subject the UK to more of my repulsive stories."
