2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Stefania Licari: Medico
Real-life doctor and award-winning comedian Stefania Licari brings her alter ego to the stage in Medico - a hysterical and moving exploration of the medical world, immigration and what it means to become British. Medico marries physical gags, ribald humour 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. Co-devised and directed by Chris Head.
