Lone Wolf Comedy Club feat. Matt Richardson Shappi Khorsandi Adam Kay
Show details:

Adam Kay
Adam Kay is a BAFTA-winning author, TV writer, comedian and former junior doctor. His first book, This is Going to Hurt, spent over a year at number one in the Sunday Times bestseller list, was translated into 37 languages, won ten national awards, and sold over three million copies. His subsequent adult nonfiction books, Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas and Undoctored were also Sunday Times number one bestsellers. His first novel, A Particularly Nasty Case published in 2025. He is also one of the country’s bestselling children’s authors, with non-fiction titles including Kay’s Anatomy (the fastest selling kids’ non-fiction book of the decade), Kay’s Incredible Inventions (Lollies Non-Fiction Book of the Year), picture books including Amy Gets Eaten (The Week Junior Picture Book of the Year), and the Dexter Procter fiction series.
As a live performer, Adam has sold-out numerous West End seasons and international tours. His live tour of This is Going to Hurt was attended by over 350,000 people and Undoctored was the bestselling show of the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe.
Adam’s awards for TV writing include BAFTA and Writers Guild awards for adapting This is Going to Hurt for the BBC/AMC. His most recent show was Dexter Procter: The 10-Year-Old Doctor for the BBC.
He is very proud to be a patron of The Lullaby Trust, for whom he has raised over £350k, Oxfordshire Mind, The Laura Hyde Foundation and Doctors in Distress, where he founded the National Memorial Tree Planting Campaign for healthcare workers who have lost their lives by suicide. He edited Dear NHS: 100 Stories to Say Thank You, raising £600k for NHS Charities Together.

Shappi Khorsandi
As a keynote speaker and awards host, Shappi can deftly handle the most serious subjects with a sprinkling of humour – a skill perfected in her early stand-up shows. Drawing on her past experiences as a female comic breaking into a male-dominated industry, Shappi is a popular speaker on topics surrounding diversity and inclusion and mental health. Her charmingly candid style combined with her sharp-as-a-tack delivery ensure that whether speaking virtually or in-person, she never fails to connect with an audience.
Shappi has done features for several national publications and has a regular, weekly column in the Independent.
She has received an honorary doctorate from Winchester University for her contribution to the arts. Her mother was overjoyed, until she realised Shappi can’t actually write prescriptions for her.
Shappi has also received the prestigious James Joyce Award for outstanding success in her field from Dublin University.
She has two dogs, two cats and two children so can often be found hiding in the airing cupboard, eating crisps in the dark.

Matt Richardson
Matt has firmly established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting young performer and presenters – hosting the drive-time show on Virgin Radio. His TV credits include co-hosting the Xtra Factor alongside Caroline Flack, Co-Hosting Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live! Alongside Christine Lampard and helming the live spin off show alone, two one-off documentaries for ITV2 – Pampered Pooches, Hollywood and Meet The Family Guys, a series regular role on Viral Tap (ITV2), Nevermind The Buzzcocks, Celebrity Juice, Sweat The Small Stuff, Big Brothers Bit on the Side, Fake Reaction, Its Not Me It’s You, I’m a Celebrity Get Me out of here Now! and countless other shows.
