Alan Davies Returns

478 episodes later… Alan Davies returns! He’s an all-round fixture of British comedy as a respected stand-up, writer and actor - from the unflappable Jonathan Creek to the permanent mischief-maker on QI.

His second memoir Just Ignore Him was widely praised for its honesty, and his follow-up, White Male Stand Up, continues that deeply personal journey. He’s now back on the road for the first time in a decade with Alan Davies: Think Ahead.

We discuss Alan’s choice to open up onstage for the first time about his traumatic childhood, the breakthrough moment when a WIP becomes “a real show”, the trick to building momentum with monkey bars, how writing offered Alan emotional relief as well as a record for the future and why when dishonesty is everywhere, being honest matters.

Please note: this episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse. If you’ve been affected by these issues or need support, please visit napac.org.uk and 1in6.org.
