BRILLIANT  stand-up  comedian Alasdair Beckett-King is taking his total sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show “Nevermore” on tour across the UK - and will be visiting Exeter Phoenix with it next week.

With several viral internet hits, appearances on Mock The Week a debut performance on Comedy Central Live and an upcoming debut on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown later this year, Alasdair also has two sensational children’s books and a sell-out UK tour last year under his (vegan leather) belt. 

The show that many people are calling “Nevermore“ is an island in a sea of existential terror and entirely justified fears. It is silly, faintly mystical and does not feature any ravens. It is also a real show with jokes and everything.

Alasdair won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year in 2017 and garnered a very enthusiastic critical response plus Amused Moose Comedy Award nomination with his debut Edinburgh show of the same year. 

Alongside his TV appearances and YouTube fame, he has featured on BBC radio as a comedian and sketch writer andhas also performed stand-up across the UK, at venues including Glastonbury, Citadel Fest, the Udderbelly Southbank and the Fringe.

He once won a student RTS award and was nominated for a Student Oscar, but quit filmmaking for stand-up on realising it was a much more cheaper medium to be unsuccessful in.

Tickets for 8pm show on May 9 can be booked through the venue’s website https://exeterphoenix.org.uk/
