One of the country’s top comedians, Alan Carr has today announced two Aberdeen dates at the city’s Music Hall. The much-loved comedian will visit the city centre venue on September 10 and 11 with his new tour, Not Again, Alan! joining a stellar line-up for 2020 which includes Paul Weller, Twin Atlantic and Jimmy Carr to name a few.
Aberdeen Performing Arts director of Programming and Creative Projects, Ben Torrie, said: “Alan Carr is used to selling out arenas up and down the country, so to have him at the Music Hall is a coup for us and very exciting. It’s a great chance to get up close and personal with one of the UK’s most loved comedians.”
Join Alan as he muses upon the things that make his life weird and wonderful. It's been four years since Alan last went on tour, and in that time he's managed to find himself in all sorts of dramas. Between his star-studded wedding day and becoming an accidental anarchist, from fearing for his life at border control to becoming a reluctant farmer, three words spring to mind… Not again, Alan!
Tickets will sell out fast so don't miss the chance to get up close and personal with one of the country's most funniest, cherished and unique comedians at the very top of
his game. Not Again, Alan! is Alan’s fourth UK solo tour. Previous soldâ€out tours include Tooth Fairy (2007), Spexy Beast (2011) and Yap, Yap, Yap! in 2015 – all of which went on to become top selling DVD releases.
It’s been a busy few years for Alan since he finished hosting 16 series of his BAFTA awardâ€winning Channel 4 chatâ€show Alan Carr Chatty Man. His recent TV shows include; Host of two series of There’s Something About Movie’s (Sky One), host of Kylie’s Secret Night (Channel 4), Alan Carr’s Celebrity Replay (ITV), host of I Don’t Like Mondays (Channel 4), The Price Is Right (Channel 4) and Alan Carr’s Happy Hour (Channel 4). Alan has also co-hosted four Stand Up To Cancer live fundraising events for Channel 4.
His other recent TV appearances include; Judge on RuPaul’s DragRace UK (BBC !!!/BBC One), A League Of Their Own European Roadtrip (Sky One), Celebrity Bake Off Stand Up To Cancer Special (Channel 4), and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4).
As well as a star of stage and screen, Alan has also written two highly commended autobiographies – Look Who It Is! (released in 2008 by HarperCollins) and Alanatomy (released in 2016 by Penguin). Alan can also regularly be heard on BBC Radio 2 where he presents numerous shows throughout the year with coâ€host Mel Sykes.
Later this year, Alan will be back on our television screens as host of ITV’s Alan Carr’s Epic
Gameshow. The series will see five of the country’s allâ€time favourite game shows supersized and reinvigorated for a brand new audience. The five legendary formats getting the big scale treatment are: Play Your Cards Right, Take Your Pick, Strike It Lucky, Bullseye, and The Price is Right. Also in 2020, Alan will be returning as a judge on the highly anticipated second series of the BBC’s RuPaul’s DragRace UK.
