How Can(t) I Help?

Holly Gow • Amateur Company

60 minutes•Jade Studio
GP receptionists AKA the gatekeepers from hell. Except I'm not. Well, not always. How Can(t) I Help? is a one-woman show recounting the best and mostly worst times working as a GP receptionist. An NHS GP receptionist. The shoulder to cry on, the hand to slap samples into and the face to scream at. From cheap coffee to fighting off stool samples. From assisting pervy men with checking their blood pressure to the aftermath of the pandemic. Welcome one and all to the circus of patients, colleagues and smells of Flowerbank Surgery.
