David Baddiel is set to return to the Menier Chocolate Factory with the world premiere of his new show My Family: Not The Sitcom.

Baddiel, whose last show FAME: Not the Musical was well received by critics at the Menier in 2014, is also known for his television work with Frank Skinner and stand-up comedy.

My Family: Not The Sitcom is a celebration of the lives of Baddiel's late mother, Sarah, and dementia-ridden father, Colin and tackles memory, aging, infidelity and what we can and can't say in an over-policed moral culture.

The show will follow Florian Zeller's play The Truth which closes in May.

My Family: Not The Sitcom runs at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 17 May to 25 June.
