'Miracle' survivor's look at life show for Buxton Fringe
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!
