Ray Bradshaw: CODA (Work In Progress)

THE SHOW

Ray Bradshaw is embarking on his fourth UK tour later this year. Come see his nearly finished product for much cheaper! 

1 in 6 adults in the UK will lose their hearing in their lifetime; two of those are Ray Bradshaw's parents. The multi award-winning comedian is back on tour with a brand-new show all about growing up as a CODA; A Child of Deaf Adults. His upbringing was nothing like the Oscar-winning film and he's here to tell you why.

CODA is a funny, heart-warming show all about the brilliant things that happen when you grow up in a house where sign language is the first language used; whether it's watching his dad shut his eyes to win any argument or beating his in-laws easily when they suggested playing charades against a deaf family on Christmas Day.

As this show is all about growing up with deaf parents every show of CODA will have a BSL interpreter. Ray has previously supported John Bishop on his UK arena tour after John described him as "one of the best comedians in the country".
