A Particularly Nasty Case: A Murderously Funny Evening with Adam Kay

Bafta-winning Jewish comic and former NHS staffer Adam Kay became a household name after his debut best-seller, This is Going to Hurt, was adapted into a hit BBC drama starring Ben Whishaw. Compiled from diary entries he made while working as junior doctor, the book (as well as its follow-up Undoctored) told everyday stories that were as gut-clenchingly funny as they were gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking. Now he presents A Particularly Nasty Case, his first work of fiction, a murder mystery inspired by his medical history – and highly humorous to boot. Discover more about it in this evening of anecdotes, insights and readings, followed by a Q&A.

8pm. £34.50.  The Lowry, Salford, M50 3AZ. www.adamkay.co.uk
