Scott Bennett – Blood Sugar Baby @ EPIC Studios
Scott Bennett: Bloody Sugar Baby
This is a ‘Norwich Arts Centre presents’ event at EPIC Studios, 112-114 Magdalen St, Norwich NR3 1JD.
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.
