After a 5-star, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the "almost sexily cerebral"(★★★★ Daily Telegraph) Alex Kealy presents a new stand-up show about fear.

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, which regularly topped the music podcasts charts during its first 2 seasons, as well as being featured in The Guardian's readers' Top 10 Podcasts of 2023.

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 (both Radio 4). He's also been a regular writer for Mock The Week and The News Quiz.

"A storming show" The Sunday Times

"A young comedian with a laser mind...contemporary, wise and funny observations" ★★★★ Edinburgh Reviews 

"Kealy redefines what it really means to encounter your own mundane fears in a jam-packed, faultless performance that will make you question the meaning of life and the sweet hereafter!" ★★★★ EdFringeReview

"Breakneck pace with surprising turns in eloquent comic’s wonderful new hour" ★★★★ The List

"Excellent...dynamite Interstellar routine which I wish I had written!" Mark Kermode
