Description

Think there's no humour in tumours? Former Daily Telegraph music critic Tom GK (as heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra) is celebrating a decade of treatment at Guy's and St Thomas's Chemotherapy Ward with this hilarious, heart-warming all-new show. From symptoms to side effects, Tom GK charts the journey of being diagnosed with the rare genetic disease neurofibromatosis type-II (the very sh*t sequel), turning tragedy into farce along the way. 'A deft way with storytelling' (TheWest.com.au). 'Like a humorous, humble Howard Goodall' (Scotsman). 'Will leave you singing for joy!' **** (FourthWall.wordpress.com).

With deft wit and a song or two Tom GK tells the story of being diagnosed with, and living with, an extremely rare disease. Whether its being the youngest adult in the chemo ward, or the renewed teenage angst that comes after diagnosis, Tom GK always puts the funniest spin on events. A show worth seeing.
