    This Is Going To Hurt Live

    Starting with a run at the Edinburgh Fringe, before moving to the Soho Theatre then graduating to a four month residency at the Garrick Theatre and a UK tour of the country's largest theatres, the absolute sell-out This is Going to Hurt LIVE was one of the most watched comedy shows of the year.

    ***** 'Blissfully brilliant' - Mail on Sunday
    **** 'An artful night of the darkly funny, the impish and the
    impassioned' - The Times
