An uplifting tale of one family, one rare genetic condition and one hell of a hairy baby.

In this new Radio 4 stand-up special of the show that he is currently touring to packed houses, Scott Bennett (Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance, The News Quiz) tells the amazing true story of how his daughter fell ill with a rare genetic condition, congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Never heard of it? Neither had Scott and Jemma.

‘What’s so rare and satisfying is how all the jokes go hand in hand with the seriousness of the situation. It’s a wonderfully hopeful, often hilarious show from a properly funny man’ ★★★★ Times

Yes, it’s a story about an ill baby, but it’s a very funny one with a happy ending, as new parents Scott and Jemma fight to get the right diagnosis for their daughter and are plunged into months of bewildering treatment, sleepless nights, celebrity encounters and bizarre side effects.

“An incredibly funny man with an even more incredible story” Rob Beckett

The show was recorded at Squire Performing Arts Centre in Nottingham.
