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 – staring 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

- 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.
