Sam Avery: The Learner Parent

Date: Friday, Oct 19 2018
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: The Comedy Box at the Hen & Chicken Studio

Parenthood is a crafty beast. The second you master something it changes the game so you’re rubbish at it again.

Stand-up comedian, viral blogger and bestselling author Sam Avery (aka The Learner Parent) started his award-winning blog when his twin boys were born.

A million nappies, Peppa Pig episodes and a head-full of hair loss later, he shares all the lows, highs and hilarious in-betweens of his experiences of first-time parenthood.
