One of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming stand-ups visits Norden Farm Centre for the Arts in April.
After a five-star, sell-out at the Edinburgh Fringe, stand-up Alex Kealy is taking his new stand-up show about fear on a national tour.
Alex Kealy is a stand-up comedian who mixes smart political material with self-deprecation and relatable observations.
In his first year performing, he reached the final of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition and is now an in-demand joke writer for comedy shows.
Alex has been the tour support for Jack Dee, Shaparak Khorsandi, Tom Rosenthal and Kieran Hodgson.
Along with Ivo Graham, he hosts the hit podcast Gig Pigs.
It regularly topped the music podcast charts during its first two seasons, and featured in The Guardian’s readers’ Top 10 Podcasts of 2023.
He has taken four hours of stand-up to the Edinburgh Fringe, and his comedy has been listed in the top jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe by The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Mirror, The Evening Standard, The Independent, iNews, The Scotsman and The Huffington Post.
His sharp joke-writing and political takes have been featured on multiple guest appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show as well as Catherine Bohart’s TL;DR and Rhys James’s What Are You Talking About.
He’s also been a regular writer for Mock The Week and The News Quiz.
Enjoy this must-see stand-up act as Norden Farm welcomes Alex Kealy back on the stage.
Alex Kealy – The Fear is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Saturday 12 April at 8pm. Tickets are £16.
