Alex Kealy: The Fear

9th May 2025
Location The Maltings Theatre
Tickets £13.00 – £16.00
After a 5-star, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Alex Kealy is taking his new stand-up show about fear on a national tour.
 
One of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming comedians, Alex has been the tour support for Jack Dee, Shaparak Khorsandi, Tom Rosenthal and Kieran Hodgson.
 
Along with Ivo Graham, he hosts hit podcast Gig Pigs, and his sharp joke-writing and political takes have been featured on multiple guest appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, Catherine Bohart’s TL;DR and Rhys James’ What Are You Talking About (both Radio 4). He’s also been a regular writer for Mock The Week and The News Quiz.
