Michael Akadiri

Stand-up comedy show by Michael Akadiri, a comedian who also works as a junior doctor, presenting Don't Call Me Uncle! at Glee Club in Birmingham.

Don't Call Me Uncle! is a stand-up comedy show by Michael Akadiri, a junior doctor, husband and father in his early thirties. Its starting point is a recent occasion on which Akadiri was called uncle in public, a term usually reserved for older people, and the routine follows the comedian's reaction to that label. Along the way it looks at the gap between perception and reality, through anecdotes described as sharp and politically pointed.

Akadiri has won the Komedia New Comedy Award and the Comedian of Medicine Award at the Haags Comedy Festival, and was nominated for the Biggest Award in Comedy. The performer has appeared on Comedy Central LIVE, ITV's Stand Up Sketch and Channel 4's Stand Up to Cancer, and has toured in support of Jason Manford. Radio appearances include Capital Xtra's Breakfast Show, LBC and BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends.

The show takes place at Glee Club, a venue in Birmingham that hosts shows.
