David Baddiel discussed his life and career before an audience of 200 Jewish Care supporters in Golders Green.

Interviewed by Kate Fulton, the writer and comedian spoke about his North-West London upbringing, Fantasy Football and Three Lions and his show, My Family: Not The Sitcom.

About the latter, he said: “I never think it’s good to sweep things under the carpet and I find it’s more difficult not to talk about things.

“So when my dad got the diagnosis of Pick’s disease and I was told he had dementia, I found the best way to process it was to talk about, and in my case, to make comedy out of it.
