A fantastic comedian who entertains her audience without relying on crude humour for cheap laughs. The show is incredibly funny, while some serious topics give it a lot of depth. A great show by a very charming doctor/comedian!

The show left me laughing inside for several days after going. Between comparing the two cultures and what it’s really like inside the NHS, I must say she hit the nail on the head with respect to being a medical professional inside of that kind of bureaucracy. As an American, I have my own lens through which I see British and Italian culture, and she unwittingly puts the words succinctly into stereotypical British versus Italian culture. I’d like all of my friends in medicine or who are single and dating in the UK to see this for validation and for a hard laugh!

This is actually the second time I’ve seen Medico, a testament to how good this show is.
This show is so well written and directed, Stefania takes you on a perfectly crafted and personal journey to show the life of an NHS doctor, immigrant and very funny person. I laughed, I even cried a bit.

The show was missing a clear storyline and felt scattered at times. Certain bits felt hypocritical and lacking in self awareness. e.g. jokes made about the “racism” she faced in the NHS, explaining to us how they “wouldn’t say to an Indian” (actually they would probably say that and worse). Or the commentary on British vs Italian men (overflowing with stereotypes) followed by a segment bemoaning Italian stereotypes aimed at her. Lastly, I’d just offer a revision on the definition of racism (R=P+P). She seemed enthusiastic and well intentioned, but at the moment I wouldn’t recommend the show. Not sure how much that was coloured by our experience as minority female medics in the NHS, hoping to be seen and feeling underwhelmed.
