Summary
Comedian and writer, George Lewis, sits down with Gabby to speak about what it feels like to be reaching new heights in his career on the cusp of midlife! They chat about George’s journey through comedy and how relatability is not something to be underestimated - he’s proved that dad jokes are in fact very funny! He also gives a deeply emotional account of what it’s like going through the process of having your child assessed for autism, and why he feels a diagnosis is important for both children and parents. George also talks about the innate gratitude he’s had since he was young, and why it’s more bucket hats than bucket lists for him! This is an unexpectedly philosophical chat, packed full of warmth and joy.
George is running the 2026 London Marathon in aid of Autistica - the charity he is an ambassador for - and you can find out more about the charity at www.autistica.org.uk
George’s tour Best Thing You’ll Ever Do continues from 3rd September 2025, and tickets are available at www.georgelewiscomedian.com
