After a 5-star, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Alex Kealy is taking his new stand-up show about fear on a national tour. One of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming stand-ups, Alex has been the tour support for Jack Dee, Shaparak Khorsandi, Tom Rosenthal and Kieran Hodgson.
Along with Ivo Graham, he hosts hit podcast Gig Pigs, and his sharp joke-writing and political takes have been featured on multiple guest appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, Catherine Bohart’s TL;DR and Rhys James’ What Are You Talking About (both Radio 4). He’s also been a regular writer for Mock The Week and The News Quiz.
