Alexei Sayle

The “fearlessly funny” (Metro) godfather of alternative comedy presents his first full-length stand-up show in 17 years.

Following two sold-out seasons in London, Sayle is as splenetic as ever, ranting about the proliferation of Old Etonians, laying into Alistair Campbell and ruminating on how life has changed since those glory days of the 1980s. “The ranting Scouse commie shtick is as funny as ever, but is now offset by thoughtfulness, even vulnerability,” says The Guardian.
