Just the Tonic

Admin

Real-life doctor and award-winning comedian Stefania Licari brings her alter ego to the stage in Medico - a hysterical and moving exploration of the medical world, immigration and what it means to become British. Medico marries physical gags, ribald humour and true stories from the medical frontline with Stefania's own experience as an Italian doctor in the UK. You may laugh or cry, but one thing is guaranteed: you will never look at doctors in the same way again. Co-devised and directed by Chris Head.

Interview with comedian, actor and doctor Stefania Licari

"One of the aspects I love about being a performer is the rapport with other artists, and it's incredible that within one city for the month of August, Edinburgh contains all the artists I admire, work with or aspire to meet. Isn't that just magical?"

Fringe: The doctors having a laugh about the NHS

With regular stories about delays and staffing shortages in the news, it may not seem that there's much to laugh about in the NHS. But a number of doctors are hoping laughter can be the best medicine with their own stand-up comedy shows at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
