British comedy stalwart Alan Davies is hitting the road again for his first stand-up tour in a decade, sending waves of excitement through fans who have waited years for his return to the stage. Best known for his quick-witted presence on QI, his iconic turn as Jonathan Creek, and his candid storytelling on As Yet Untitled, Davies is gearing up to bring his signature mix of sharp observations, self-deprecating humor, and deeply personal anecdotes back to live audiences across the UK.

Titled Alarming, the tour promises a fresh batch of material that blends Davies’ hallmark charm with his knack for finding the absurd in the everyday. Having spent years in the spotlight as a beloved TV personality, Davies now returns to his roots—an arena where he first made his name as one of the UK’s most compelling stand-ups.

“Live comedy has always been where I feel most at home,” Davies said in his announcement. “It’s been far too long since I’ve been out there properly, and I can’t wait to get back on stage and have a laugh with audiences again.”

The tour marks a significant return for Davies, whose stand-up career took a backseat in recent years as he focused on television, writing, and podcasting. His last major tour, Little Victories, was met with critical acclaim, with audiences praising his ability to weave deeply personal stories with razor-sharp wit. Fans can expect more of the same: a mix of hilarious nostalgia, cultural commentary, and reflections on life, aging, and the bizarre quirks of the modern world.

For comedy lovers, this is a rare chance to see one of the UK’s finest live performers back in action. The tour will kick off later this year, covering major cities across the UK, with dates expected to sell out fast. Given Davies’ legendary status in British comedy, this comeback is sure to be Alarming—but in all the right ways.
