Doug Devaney

“There I am, flat on my back in A&E, my heart squeezing itself like a floormop, and I’m trying to flirt with the ward sister while she gums ECG stickers to my man boobs."

Doug Devaney’s one man show, developed with funding from The Arts Council’s Grants For The Arts scheme, is a tale of booze, bacon and the BBC Breakfast sofa. Join this bad patient on a comic journey from cardiac ward through rehab to media stardom and beyond, picking up a ukulele and Barbara Windsor on the way.

“This is a show about psychology more than about physiology, and it’s more sobering than a hundred public health information films. It’s also remarkably entertaining. It’s funny and thought-provoking, and I enjoyed every minute of it.” – Fringe Guru
