Critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and TV personality Alan Davies has announced an extensive New Zealand tour for July and August 2026.
With his brand-new show, Think Ahead, this will mark his first visit to New Zealand in a decade.
Alan Davies thinks he’s Marty McFly, but he’s older than Doc Brown. He spends more time in the pharmacy than in the gym. Subject to relentless eye rolls from his kids. What is he? A late middle-aged stand-up on tour for the first time in a decade. Funnier than ever, he says.
He is a staple of British television, known for his performance as the eponymous hero of David Renwick’s hugely popular, long-running TV series Jonathan Creek, and as a permanent panellist on QI. His talk show, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, recently reached its seventh season. He is also one of the UK’s best-loved comedians.
His stand-up show Urban Trauma ran in London’s West End, and Life is Pain and Little Victories sold out in venues across Australia and the UK. His second memoir, Just Ignore Him, was published in 2020, and the third instalment, White Male Stand-Up, is out now.
In both his latest memoir and his latest stand-up performances, he covers his extensive career, the highs, the lows, and the struggles he’s experienced.
The tour will commence in Hamilton on Friday, the 31st of July, before heading to Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Christchurch, and concluding at Dunedin’s Regent Theatre on the 13th of August.
