This Review is from August 2025

You already know Alan Davies. He has one of the most recognisable faces on British television. Known for his performance as the hero of David Renwick’s popular, long-running TV series Jonathan Creek (BBC), and as a permanent panellist on QI (BBC). His talk show for comedy nerds like me, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (DAVE), recently reached its seventh season.

His stand up is polished, accomplished and at times, surprisingly challenging. Not all of Alan’s life has been a bed of roses and among the lovely family stories, some darker, very dark times are explored. Only a comedian this good can pull this off.

This is a stand-up set from an accomplished professional comedian.  The Declan Rice of stand-up comedy. Yes, I did have to Google that.

Alan Davies is interviewed on Episode 4 of the On the Mic: Five a Day podcast
