After yapping his way around UK and Ireland, bring your umbrellas 'cause it will surely rain laughter as Alan Carr brings his brand new, much-awaited stand up show Yap, Yap, Yap! to Australia. The national tour kicks off in Canberra before ushering the fun to Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and a special show in Sydney for the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.
Alan Carr has become one of the household names in Britain, since winning the BBC New Comedy Award for Stand Up as well as City Life Best Newcomer of the Year in 2001.
The success of his television series Alan Carr: Chatty Man, which is now one of UK’s favourite entertainment television shows, led to Channel 4 commissioning umpteen further series, and has notched up several tv awards and is now booked to continue into 2016. Guests on the show over the years have included Lady Gaga, Robin Williams, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and every other A-lister in the land!
“A comedian who owns the space he is working in so much, he could put a flag up” - The Independent
In 2008, Alan released his autobiography 'Look Who It Is?'. He co-presented Comic Relief on BBC One in 2008 as well as joining the Men’s Team for Comic Relief Does The Apprentice alongside Jonathon Ross, Gerald Ratner, Gok Wan and Jack Dee. His team lost and Alan was fired (or as Alan Sugar put it, I’m doing you a favour). He has been a Comic Relief supporter ever since.
In 2002, his Edinburgh Festival show Me ‘Ead’s Spinnin’ earned a 4-star review in Edinburgh bible, The List and was the Telegraph’s Critic’s Choice. In 2003 I Love Alan Carr garnered 4 stars in both The Scotsman and The Independent, but it was the 2005 Edinburgh Festival that gave him 5-star reviews across the board as well as numerous Pick Of The Fringe accolades. It was there that things started to happen with Alan and Channel 4. He has since appeared at comedy festivals all around the world including Montreal’s Just For Laughs, Melbourne Comedy Festival and Kilkenny.
Alan isn't just a mass entertainer; he has performed for Her Majesty The Queen at the Royal Variety Performance too!
