Edinburgh Fringe
Matt Hutchinson: Hostile
Matt is an NHS doctor - what a hero! Also a fast-rising comedian, finalist in the Leicester Square New Comedian and Hackney Empire New Act competition. The son of Jamaican and English parents, in this highly anticipated debut Hutchinson asks: how hostile is the environment in Britain? Who is welcome here? What does it mean to 'integrate'? Against all odds, he finds hilarious answers. As heard on BBC Radio 4, as seen on BBC Three and NextUp. 'An assured presence' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Safe hands' (Chortle.co.uk... and some patients).
