Michael Akadiri -Trust Me, I'm a Daddy ( Edfringe Preview/WIP)
Following his Biggest Award in Comedy nominated debut and subsequent hit tour, award winning comedian and junior doctor Michael Akadiri presents a preview of 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. Michael has long juggled comedy & Medicine but now he’s thrown parenting into the mix too. Surely, something must give?!
Join Michael as he navigates the real-life obstacle course of childrearing, parenting under the ‘junior doctor gaze’ and ultimately the true sacrifices required of a father.

As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch & Channel 4s Stand Up to Cancer.
