Alan Davies is known for his natural, relatable storytelling skills across the page, the stage, and the screen. 

The comedian is a staple of British television, with roles on the long-running ‘Jonathan Creek’ and popular comedy panel show ‘QI’.  

It’s been more than a decade since Davies last did a stand-up tour, but he’s happy to report it’s going well. 

“It had been so long that it was feeling, beginning to feel like a gamble,” he told Jack Tame. 

“I spent some time unpacking stuff from my childhood, doing a, writing about it, and that process took a while and changed a lot of how I viewed myself, and what I wanted to do, and what I wanted to say. 

This show, ‘Think Ahead’, was created at around the same time Davies was writing another volume of his memoir ‘White Male Stand-Up', which deals with issues from Davies’ childhood, career, and his adult life. 

“And I’ve got to a place now where I think the show’s really quite sort of, it’s a bit richer and deeper, and better than stuff I’ve done before,” he explained. 

“I’m really sort of proud of it.”
