HEADLINER – ALEX KEALY

Alex Kealy is a stand-up who mixes smart political material with self-deprecation and playful observations. He’s a “sharply witty, almost sexily cerebral” (Daily Telegraph) comedian who’s taken 6 shows to the Edinburgh Fringe, and in his 2024 show The Fear “Kealy takes comedy a step further and creates something so technically clever that it’s almost beautiful” (★★★★★ – Broadway Baby). He opened for Jack Dee on his latest Small World tour and has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and The Now Show. His latest work-in-progress was nominated for Best Show at the 2026 Leicester Comedy Festival and he’s co-host of the music podcast Gig Pigs with Ivo Graham.  

“A storming show from the whimsical funnyman”The Sunday Times

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

The duo can be heard on BBC Radio 4 in the East Coast Listening Post, which has had two series, and their self-titled comedy sketch series aired on BBC Three in 2022 and can be seen on BBC iPlayer. 

As seen in Deep Cover (Amazon), Smoggie Queens (BBC3), The Mash Report (BBC Two), Jurassic World Dominion and Wonka. Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee.
