From Amateur Transplants: Adam Kay's Smutty Songs

This show finished on: 3 May 2012

Amateur Transplants presents Adam Kay's Smutty Songs.

Amateur Transplants frontman Adam Kay sits at a grand piano and sings smutty songs. With sell-out tours and Edinburgh Festival seasons, his cutting- edge, darkly humorous re-imaginings of modern day pop and rock classics have gained him a cult following across the UK with more than 20 milion YouTube hits.

The iconic London Underground Song has been in the iTunes comedy top ten continuously since 2008 and has become an internet phenomenon with over 7 million hits.

Adam started performing in 1998 at medical school and quickly becoming well known amongst the medical community. Abandoning medical in-jokes for songs with wider appeal, Adam first appeared at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2005, achieving a sell-out run. He has since sold out Edinburgh runs in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Amateur Transplants’ first national tour in 2010 sold over 6,000 tickets across all 14 dates including London's Indigo2 venue within the O2 complex.

Adam has recorded four albums including "Fitness to Practice" and "Unfit to Practise" and a live album, "In Theatre". He has been offsetting some of the bad karma caused by all the swearing by donating a proportion of album sales to Macmillan Cancer Support and is proud to have donated in excess of £30,000. The recordings have consistently held Top Ten positions in both the iTunes Comedy singles and album charts since 2008.

Adam's comedy writing credits include work for BBC2, BBC3 and BBC Radio 4, he has spoken at the Cambridge Union and the Times Cheltenham Literary Festival, and he currently has a sitcom in development.
