Following his Biggest Award in Comedy nominated debut and subsequent hit tour, multi-award-winning comedian and junior doctor Michael Akadiri arrives in Edinburgh with his sophomore show, Trust Me I’m a Daddy.
Get your mind out of the gutter - Not that sort of daddy!
He’s merely become a father.
“The supremely talented and likeable” (Metro) Michael has long juggled comedy & Medicine but now he’s thrown parenting into the mix too. Surely, something must give?!
Join this "hugely entertaining” (Chortle) comedian as he navigates the real-life obstacle course of childrearing, parenting under the ‘junior doctor gaze’ and ultimately the true sacrifices required of a daddy.
As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch & Channel 4s Stand Up to Cancer.
As heard on Capital Xtra’s Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends & Times Radio.

Information
Monkey Barrel Comedy is situated in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Our rooms are located at the top end of Blair Street, just off the Royal Mile and can be easily accessed by Bus and Taxi from South Bridge or by foot from either Cowgate or the High Street.
As with many venues in the traditional and historical Old Town, some of our spaces have accessibility limitations. Please contact us in advance (via email to our Box Office at boxoffice@monkeybarrelcomedy.com) if you have any access requirements, so we can advise on the options available.
MB1 is at ground level and can be accessed via most wheelchairs with some adjustments made for you outside the venue. Please let us know in advance of buying a ticket (via the Box Office) so we can confirm and be prepared for your arrival. Because of the physical changes required outside of the venue, we cannot guarantee entry unless we are notified in advance.
MB3 and MB4 are accessed via a series of steps. If you are able to move over short distances, our team can assist and looking after any mobility equipment.
If you have any questions, please contact our Box Office at boxoffice@monkeybarrelcomedy.com.
