Summary

The hilarious new live stand-up show from the star of Jonathan Creek.

As well known for his brilliant stand-up comedy as for his universally popular role as Jonathan Creek, Urban Trauma features Alan at his very funniest in this sell out live stand-up show filmed at the Duchess.

Join Alan as he renounces Satan, tries to keep his terrorising cats under control and shares his plans to launch 'pants in the laundry basket' as an Olympic sport, while the packed audience is kept in stitches at his hilarious surrealist comedy.

Critic reviews

'Forget the cuddly TV persona, the Live Alan Davies is ruder and much funnier...If you like the TV Alan, you'll love the live Alan. And if you don't like the TV Alan, you'll ove the live Alan even more' Independent on Sunday

Alan Davies

We really enjoyed this show. I just earned a “badge” from audible for re listening to it 😄 it’s deja vu.

Funny but dated

Enjoyed this but it is dated and won’t be for everyone’s humour. Big fan of Davies, but this is his original stuff so don’t expect the man of QI.

Funny stuff

Easy on the ears - clever and slightly absurd. Enjoyable and entertaining for those that appreciate the British sense of humour.

Good giggle

I find Alan Davies funny in a gentle way. Sort of guy who would entertain me in the pub. Always a giggle and astute observation of everyday things.

Not that funny

it wasn't as funny as I was expecting it to be. Maybe not my style of comedy

Edited version!

It's not the full set. Sections have been (poorly) edited out. I am assuming this has been done to make it PG but I couldn't see any warning. It's still very funny but if you know the original the edits stand out jarringly and do impact on the enjoyment.

Stand up comedy

Knowing Alan Davies only through T.V.'s Jonathan Creek and QI, and having recently read his moving autobiography, Just Ignore Him, I was delighted to find this stand up performance available for free through the Audible Plus programme. He sounded very young, rather sweet despite his monologue on poop and scooters Not being able to see him detracted from the performance: what was he doing alongside embarrassed sounding nervous laughter? The audience reaction indicated enjoyment especially in the second half of the programme.

Short (just over an hour) and, at times rather charming in a childish sort of way, echoing fragments of his outlook as a boy, I'm glad to have listened and recommend it to anyone who enjoys stand up in general and Davies in particular
