Numb & Number
We’ve been touring Ed Patricks medical stand-up comedy show Catch Your Breath – the Sleepless Life of an Anaesthetist with great success for the past two years.
Ed’s got as new show for 2026 titled Numb & Number.
Content to follow but it will be funny, it will be medical, and it will be squishy in places (as Ed is still a practicing NHS Doctor and Anaesthetist and has lots of new stories and anecdotes to share).
Availability is limited (as his full-time job saving lives at the NHS does get in the way of touring).

CATCH YOUR BREATH
The Secret Life of a Sleepless Anaesthetist
International touring on request
NHS anaesthetist, comedian and author (oooooh check him) Ed Patrick injects your audiences with a gut-punch hilarious show about becoming a junior doctor, the NHS, the pitfalls of modern medicine and the power of questioning it.
There’s plenty of laughing gas to go round.
