Award-winning comedian Adam Kay joins us on the afternoon of Saturday 23rd September to share extracts from his new book 'This Is Going to Hurt', the by turns hilarious, heartbreaking and horrifying account of his hospital years.

'A blisteringly funny account of the lot of the junior doctor shot through with harrowing detail' (Jo Brand)

This event starts at 2pm in the auditorium, St Cyres School, Sully Road, Penarth.  Tickets are £10 each, redeemable against purchases of the book, and refreshments will be available.
