Scott Bennett: Blood Sugar Baby

Stand-up Scott Bennett tells the true story of his baby鈥檚 rare genetic condition, how she was initially misdiagnosed and how Scott battled the hospital to improve their care.

Scott Bennett: Blood Sugar Baby tells the amazing true story of Scott and Jemma Bennett鈥檚 infant daughter Olivia and her battle with a rare genetic condition, how she was nearly fatally misdiagnosed and how Scott challenged the hospital to improve their care - by taking his dad鈥檚 advice to 鈥淧ut a tie on鈥.

First-time parents Scott and Jemma are taken from the apparently idyllic world of having a new-born baby who sleeps through the night and suddenly plunged into months of misguided treatments, genetics, bizarre side effects and private jets.

Recorded in Scott and Jemma鈥檚 home town of Nottingham - where the real-life story began - this is an emotional show about a critically ill baby but it鈥檚 also a really funny one with a happy and hopeful ending.

Written and Performed by Scott Bennett
