Alan Davies - Think Ahead 5***** - One4Review
one4review | On 04, Aug 2025
I’ve been a fan of Alan Davies for many years but never seen him perform live, until tonight!
What an absolute pleasure to be in his audience. From the very get go, his engaging voice and smart observations have us in the palm of his hand.
He takes us on his own personal journey of growing old and how the aging process is not being particularly kind to him. Aches and pains, medical issues and memory loss are all tackled in a sharp and painfully clever way.
There’s some lovely moments where he talks about his wife and children and we get an insight into this celebrated comedians life.
And then there’s a massive turning point in the show where Alan delves deep into his own childhood in a way that’s both moving and sensitive, and we get to see him in a very different and vulnerable light.
It’s an incredibly heartfelt and emotional part of his performance. He covers some really tough, personal topics in a very sensitive way. It’s obvious that this is still a very raw subject and not one that’s easy to tackle in an open forum.
If you’re not able to get a ticket to see his show here at The Fringe, catch him on his upcoming tour of the UK, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
