Line Up :

MICHAEL AKADIRI : Don't Call me Uncle ( Tour Warm Up/ Work In Progress)
Following two hit UK tours, Biggest Award in Comedy nominee and resident (junior) Doctor Michael Akadiri prescribes New Cross with a potent preview of his latest offering, Don’t Call Me Uncle! Multi-award-winning comedian Michael is proud to wear many hats: doctor, husband & father. Evidently, that list does not include uncle. Yet, despite only being in his early 30s, “the supremely talented and likeable” (Metro) doctor, for the first time ever, was recently called uncle in public (a term usually reserved for elders!). This has sent him spiralling! Join the ”‘hugely entertaining” (Chortle) Akadiri as he fights this lurid allegation, contemplates the difference between perception and reality all whilst keeping the laughs flowing with his trademark “sharp-wit” (Chortle) & “politically punchy” (Guardian) anecdotes.
As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch & Channel 4’s Stand Up to Cancer. As heard on Capital Xtra’s Breakfast Show, LBC & BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends. Tour support for Jason Manford. Winner - Komedia New Comedy Award NextUp Biggest Award in Comedy nominee
