Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and medical doctor Kwame was overweight in his late childhood and obese in his early teens. Dealing with weight issues in his formative years, split between growing up in London and spending his summers in rural Ghana played a significant part in the person he is today. Now, working in the NHS and sharing in other people's experiences of obesity has forced him to reflect on his own experiences, and taught him many valuable and heart-warming lessons which he shares with the audience in this new show. **** (Scotsman).

Interview: Kwame Asante on his Teenage Heartblob years
I can imagine doctors need a sense of humour at the best of times and what better way to push NHS health messages than through the medium of comedy. Obesity is the theme of junior doctor Kwame Asante's current fringe show Teenage Heartblob and it is rooted in personal experience.
