Summary

There's a famous joke that does the rounds at The Moon Under Water: "Doctor Doctor, I feel like a pint of ale"... "Well, get yourself down to The Moon Under Water then!" It's an absolute classic, and it goes down a storm every time it's told - and even though it's now been told over a million times in the Correct Realm, we're still going to try it on our next guest. It's writer, comedian, and former doctor Adam Kay.

It's a known fact that if you're reading this then you own a copy of Adam's smash-hit book This Is Going To Hurt. Though he touches on pubs throughout the book, he doesn't really get "bogged down" in the reasons why he loves pubs... which is why we're so excited for him to join us at The Moon Under Water!

His latest book Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients is available in paperback on 8th June.
