About Michael Akadiri: Trust Me, I’m a Daddy
Following his Biggest Award in Comedy nominated debut and subsequent hit tour, multi-award-winning comedian and junior doctor Michael Akadiri arrives in EDINBURGH with his sophomore show, Trust Me I’m a Daddy.
Get your mind out of the gutter - Not that sort of daddy!
He’s merely become a father.
“The supremely talented and likeable” (Metro) Michael has long juggled comedy & Medicine but now he’s thrown parenting into the mix too. Surely, something must give?!
Join this ”‘hugely entertaining” (Chortle) comedian as he navigates the real-life obstacle course of childrearing, parenting under the ‘junior doctor gaze’ and ultimately the true sacrifices required of a daddy.
As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch Show & Channel 4s Stand Up to Cancer.
