Adam Kay: Eleven Enormous Memory Boxes
Dilly meets Adam Kay to unpack his renovation chaos, life with toddlers, and creative clutter – not to mention walls covered in Post-it notes mapping out his book plots!
On this episode of Sort Your Life Out Unpacked, Dilly is joined by the comedy powerhouse Adam Kay, a doctor turned author who drew on his experiences in the NHS to write the best selling memoir ‘This is Going to Hurt’. Currently, Adam is up to his eyes with his two toddlers and a home renovation.
Adam brings in three items from home for Dilly Carter to unpack – one that reflects his current life decisions, another which reflects family life (and turns up in strange places!), and a third that helps him plot out his books.
He opens up about how fatherhood has changed him forever, what it was like missing his daughter’s birth, and he gets Dilly’s much-needed advice on what to keep and, crucially, what to throw away. He’s already drowning in kids’ memory boxes before their school years have begun!
Dilly and Adam explore why creativity and chaotic homes go hand in hand and they answer some of life’s big questions… like which wallpaper should go in the office!?
