Peter Kay has his garlic bread gag, Micky Flanagan has his Out Out riff. Both routines are the comedy equivalent of hit songs that fans hope to hear when they buy a ticket. Ex-medic Adam Kay has his must-tell tale too. The degloving story, about an unfortunate patient who turned up in A&E having ripped of the skin off his genitalia sliding down a lamp post.
Kay bowed to the demands of his public halfway through his Soho Theatre set this weekend. Though he also has another routine that tops it. It certainly had a similar effect on the men in the audience. His intimate account of having a kidney stone and the extreme lengths he went to to expel it had every male member wincing in unison. Now that's what I call painfully funny.
