Stefania Licari: Medico

In her debut solo show MEDICO, Italian NHS intensive care doctor and comedian (yes, she really is both), Dr Stefania Licari offers a hysterical and moving exploration of the medical world, immigration and what it means to become British.

MEDICO marries physical gags, jokes and true stories from the medical frontline with Stefania’s own experience as an Italian doctor in the UK. You may laugh or cry, but one thing is guaranteed: you will never look at doctors in the same way again.
