  • Written and Performed by: Noah Szto

  • Original Music by: Noah Szto

Noah endured four years of med school in hopes that it would make for a good show one day. This is that show.

Come join Noah for an hour of songs and stand-up as he guides you through the mishaps and misadventures of his reluctant medical journey. From prostate exams, to delivering babies, all the way to discovering he looks great in scrubs, there's nothing off limits! (Although please don't ask him about your own medical conditions because technically he's not yet qualified to give medical advice lol soz. Something something go see your GP!)

Noah Szto is an Asian-Australian comedian whose debut hour of comedy “Success In Everything” won him the Best Newcomer Award at Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2024 and the Comedy New Work Award at Melbourne Fringe 2023. He’s also in his final year of studying the Doctor of Medicine, though he insists that it’s just a side hustle.
