One family, one condition, one hell of a hairy baby… Scott Bennett from Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance and 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’
The Times ★★★★
‘Fabulous turn of phrase, superb character creations ‘
Chortle ★★★★
‘Stardom is surely just one punchline away‘
Evening Standard ★★★★
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.
We recommend arriving at least 15-30 minutes before the show starts to allow time for parking, seating, and refreshments. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the performance.
The Crescent is located in central York with several nearby public parking options, including metered street parking and car parks within a short walking distance.
Bring your ticket (printed or on a mobile device), some photo ID if required, and perhaps a coat or light jacket for the journey. Arriving early is recommended.
