2011 Edinburgh Fringe
Dying to Help - Free
Pretending to have cancer is Lesley's job! She travels the UK helping doctors and nurses brush up on their communication skills. Come behind the scenes and screens of the surreal world of medical role-play. Meet the real-life doctors and nurses, from those with a god complex to the god damned awful. Some will inspire you, make you laugh and make you hope you never get ill again. Her quest is a lonely one, rounds of Premier Inns, tables for one, miniature shampoo and complimentary biscuits. Thank god Mum's on Skype to brighten up her lonely evenings.

A big 'well done' to lesley on her performance in 'dying to help'. A type of comedy which I had never witnessed before, it really opened my eyes, and made me think! thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Was well worth staying later than planned.
