Since 1983 Alan has been cracking ‘em up throughout Australia, from Cairns to Perth, Darwin to Melbourne and countless clubs & pubs in between. His routines are personal, ridiculous, engaging and funny, and range from the forests of Australia to the jungle of Canberra and into the rocking chair on his expansive veranda in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales.
Internationally, Alan’s honest Australian-ness has given foreign crowds a very funny and educational experience. He’s performed many times in Singapore, Canada, the USA, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand, and at the beginning of this century, he spent a year in London to enjoy the busy comedy hub of the U.K. On returning, Alan said, “Nice place to visit but...”
More recently Alan has been touring the Australian Festival circuit. He has them laughing annually at Woodford Folk Festival (Australia’s biggest with 126,000 attendees), whips down to Cobargo & Yackandandah Folk Festivals, Port Fairy Folk Festival (Victoria’s largest with an audience of 60,000), and Canberra’s National Folk Festival. Alan has performed at many other festivals including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (3 yrs), Sydney Comedy Festival (2 yrs), Newcastle Fringe Festival, Nimbin Mardi Grass (6 yrs), Tamworth Country Music Festival (4 yrs), and the inaugural Spike Milligan Comedy Festival on the NSW Central Coast.
Over his twenty five year career Alan has worked in film (Waiting, Exchange Lifeguard, lim.bo); on television (You’ve Got To Be Joking, Just Kidding, Police Rescue, etc.); and as a radio & TV voice-over artist
