User Reviews
Show was very good but recognised many anecdotes from the book. Additional music and audience participation was unexpected and fun. Quite an emotional end to the whole experience. Very real and open objective outlook all round. Definitely recommend

An intelligent comedy show, but with a heavy dose of realism on the trials of NHS staff to boot.
