Adam Kay -
Author, Comedian, Former Doctor

Adam Kay is a former doctor, a multi-award-winning, multi-million-copy bestselling author, BAFTA winning TV writer, and performer. Adam’s book This Is Going to Hurt made him the best-selling non-fiction Author of the Century.

In between his sold-out comedy tours, playing to over 250,000 people. Adam is in huge demand for corporate events, bringing his experiences to life as a speaker, giving a hilarious, inspiring, and fascinating performance.

He has a wealth of experience at private events. He is absolutely passionate and hugely knowledgeable about his subject, and everything is delivered with his trademark humour. He has entertained and spoken at every imaginable type of event – from intimate royal birthday parties at Buckingham Palace to huge conferences at ExCel London, from Manchester to Malta to Melbourne.

Adam is hugely skilled at tailoring his performance to the style and theme of an event and getting it absolutely pitch-perfect every time. Adam’s no-holds-barred diaries from his time as a junior doctor were the basis of his hit book This is Going to Hurt. This hilarious, horrifying and heart-breaking book has sold over two million copies in the UK, been translated into 38 languages, spending a record-breaking number of months at number in the Sunday Times bestseller list, and winning numerous accolades, including Book of the Year at the National Book Awards.

His second book, Twas the Nightshift before Christmas was another huge success, and Adam became the first author to have simultaneous Sunday Times number ones in paperback and hardback. This is Going to Hurt has since been adapted by Adam into a major new comedy-drama for the BBC starring Ben Whishaw, and won a BAFTA for Best Drama Writer.
