LIVE: Gerry K + Alistair Williams

SUPPORT: GARETH NEALE, PAUL MERRYCK
COMPÈRE: JAMES COOK

GERRY K is a London-born stand-up who grew up in rural Essex as one of very few black faces in a small, parochial community, an experience that still colours his material today. His style is anecdotal and observational, built on honest, first-person storytelling rather than one-liners, and it has made him a distinctive voice on stages across the UK. He came to comedy almost by accident, taking to the stage on a dare, and quickly discovered a natural gift for holding a room.

His rise was rapid: within a few years he had picked up the Comedy Store’s King Gong title, the Metrolife Comedy Newcomer award and the Comedy Cafe’s Best Newcomer prize, credentials that opened the door to the country’s biggest clubs. Gerry has since headlined The Comedy Store, Jongleurs and Komedia, and built a reputation as an in-demand act both in the UK and overseas. Alongside stand-up he has worked as an actor, with appearances in The Bill and Angelo’s, plus a cameo on one of Jimmy Carr’s DVD releases, and he has released a stand-up special through Amazon’s NextUp platform.

ALISTAIR WILLIAMS exploded onto the stand-up circuit last year and is quickly making a name for himself with razor-sharp content and high-watt charm. He’s already become a regular at the UK’s most famous venues including The Comedy Store and Up the Creek and is constantly building an ever-growing international presence.

Unafraid of tackling rough subject matter, Williams is also a passionate health campaigner. Combining raw personal anecdotes with a jam-packed gag count and slick extroverted style, he creates bespoke comedy content to challenge the food and health industries, regularly grabbing the attention of leading megabrands. He believes real food can change your life, a narrative which is also the through the line of his 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Show.

Smart, passionate, impressively quick-witted and bursting with infectious confidence, this is stand-up that grabs your attention and Alistair Williams is quickly solidifying his place as one of stand-up’s most exciting rising stars.

“He has a charming and confident stage manner and his material is fresh and very funny. He endeared himself to the audience and left the stage to a loud round of applause.”
