Broadcaster Dr Phil Hammond and actor Tony Gardner are best known for their respective roles in Trust Me, I'm a Doctor and Fresh Meat. But in the 1990s, then junior doctors, they made their names as the comedy double-act Struck Off and Die. A huge hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, the show transferred to radio in 1993, winning both a Writer's Guild and a Sony Award. Mixing dark, irreverent jokes, sardonic sketches and improvised interviews, it demystified the mysterious workings of the medical profession.

Following the extraordinary success of his hilarious debut DVD, comedian Dr Phil is back with an on stage confession of all those personal and professional cock-ups that have made him a GP and thankfully not a heart surgeon. Note: Not suitable for anyone on the Fitness to Practice Committee of the General Medical Council.

Phil Hammond is a comedian trapped in a doctor’s body. This comedy doctor has appeared on Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz and the Now Show, but still finds time to see patients. (Mondays only). He is disarmingly rude about politicians, death, drugs, sex and especially himself.
