The Secret Life of a Sleepless Anaesthetist

NHS anaesthetist, comedian and author (oooooh check him) Ed Patrick injects Reading with a gut-punch hilarious show about becoming a junior doctor, the NHS, the pitfalls of modern medicine and the power of questioning it.  

There’s plenty of laughing gas to go round.

As seen on Channel 4, Have I Got News For You and heard on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Scotland.
