Comedian and Junior Doctor Michael Akadiri is heading out on a new tour entitled Don’t Call Me Uncle!
The 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) medic was, for the first time ever, recently called uncle in public (a term usually reserved for elders). This has sent him spiralling!
Join Akadiri as he fights this lurid allegation, contemplates the difference between perception and reality while keeping the laughs flowing with his sharp-wit and punchy 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 & Emmanuel Sonubi.
Winner - Komedia New Comedy Award
Winner - Comedian of Medicine Award, Haags Comedy Festival
NextUp Biggest Award in Comedy nominee
