Stand-up Michael Akadiri has announced details of his second live comedy tour, taking place later this year.

Trust Me, I'm A Daddy will tour from September to November, telling the story of his journey into parenthood.

The comic, who is also a junior doctor in the NHS, has previously won awards including the Komedia New Comedy prize, and been nominated for NextUp's Biggest Award in Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Promoters say: "Following his award-nominated debut and subsequent hit tour, multi-award-winning comedian and junior doctor Michael Akadiri takes his [second] show, Trust Me, I'm A Daddy on the road.

"Michael has long juggled comedy and medicine but now he's thrown parenting into the mix too. Surely, something must give?! Join the comedian as he navigates the real-life obstacle course of childrearing, parenting under the 'junior doctor gaze' and ultimately the true sacrifices required of a daddy."

The show will also be performed in preview at Machynlleth Comedy Festival on 4th May.
