In January Nigel Osner went into hospital for a routine cardiac operation but during the procedure his heart stopped. Surgeons had to break his ribs and compress his heart until it started again. On his website, the performer says: “It’s a miracle I’m still alive.”

In his humorous, bitter-sweet show Too Young To Stay In, Too Old To Go Out, Nigel will examine dating, love, work, holidays and even the gym!

Making simple costume changes, Nigel performs original songs and stories by male and female characters. These include Gerald who is having a taxing night out in central London; a rich designer who falls for his hunky gardener; the woman driven mad by her companion on a river cruise; and a fading star on an endless tour.
