Nick Abrahams - The Accidental Lawyer

If you want an inspiring lawyer story, read To Kill a Mocking Bird. If you want a laugh, come to this show.

This is a story about a lawyer who shouldn't have ever become one. It is for anyone who has ever found themselves in the wrong place.

Years ago, Nick Abrahams was a successful comedian - in Tokyo - starring in his own TV show and hailed as "the Seinfeld of Japan". He then landed a job at Warner Bros in Hollywood working with George Clooney on ER and Aaron Sorkin on The West Wing. He produced and appeared in a film with Woody Allen and then.. he became a lawyer.

When anyone hears this, their first reaction is, "Why so much name-dropping" and then they ask, "What went wrong?" A lot of people escape being a lawyer to do something more interesting. Nick escaped doing something more interesting to spend 16 hours a day arguing over commas. This is a show about how Nick did a career change in reverse and then tried to escape.

Along the way he:

- Sadly lost his father.. to Sky News
- Found his friends despised lawyers - until they went DUI
- Realised lawyers see themselves making the world a better place, six minutes at a time
- Wrote the lawyers-only movie sequel: Fifty Shades of Grey (Area)
- Discovered that being a lawyer you spend your days writing words no one will ever read - just like being a brilliant poet

And in a twist no one saw coming, he became a senior partner in a global law firm for 25 years.

Not just for lawyers, this show is for anyone who's ever wanted to change their life.. but was quietly terrified they'd completely stuff it up.

Nick's Money-back Guarantee*: You will have a laugh and feel better about the world.
