Michael Akadiri: Don't Call Me Uncle

Don't Call Me Uncle is a stand-up comedy show by Michael Akadiri, a resident junior doctor who has been nominated for the Biggest Award in Comedy. The show is staged at Fairfield Social Club in Manchester.

The premise is a single incident: despite being in the early thirties, the comedian was recently called uncle in public for the first time, and the show follows Akadiri's attempt to contest that label. Along the way the act considers the gap between perception and reality, using the comedian's experience as a doctor, husband and father as raw material.

The set is built on anecdotes and sharp, politically pointed observations, delivered by Michael Akadiri on stage in a stand-up format. Akadiri has previously toured the UK on two occasions with earlier material and has also been on tour in support of Jason Manford. The comedian has won awards including the Komedia New Comedy Award and the Comedian of Medicine Award at the Haags Comedy Festival.

Fairfield Social Club is a theatre on Irk Street, Manchester M4 4JT, and this stand-up show is a comedy evening for those interested in observational humour from a working doctor's point of view.
