Code Grey is the story of one man's experiences with the extremes of the Australian health system, near death, actual death and living to tell the story. Adrian Calear had it all! A bright future, an exceptional woman, wonderful friends and a great career. As an up-and-coming comedian, he was living the lifestyle to the full...then the wheels fell off. After a severe illness Adrian's career came to a screaming halt and then to add insult to injury, just as he was adjusting to a destroyed income and a focus change, he was laid low by a different illness that left him with a less than 2% chance of survival...and survive he did! Code Grey is the story of one little guy who refused to surrender and in the midst of the pain and the terror learned to laugh at death. You can too - come see the show. Code Grey is a funny, warm, victorious look at our health system, medicine, fear, damage, courage and just how tough human nature is! Catch it at The 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
