Alasdair Beckett-King is the crumbliest comedian in the game: he is a multi-award-winning stand-up comic, author, (occasionally) an internet sensation and star of Mock The Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats. In 2026, he will embark on his third UK tour. He will be at the Komedia 25th of February 2026 In King Of Crumbs, ABK blends his smart writing with his offbeat comic sensibility. Times are hard for a medieval whimsy pedlar. The milk of human kindness has curdled into the cheese of mistrust – hungrily devoured on the crackers of hatred.

Alasdair is a legendary comedian and writer, in that there is little historical evidence that he exists. He has performed on C4’s 8 out of 10 Cats, BBC’s Mock the Week, Comedy Central Live, BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and at the Glastonbury Festival. Following several viral videos and sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Alasdair embarked upon his first UK tour in 2023. In the same year, Walker Books began publishing ABK’s Montgomery Bonbon series of children’s mystery novels. Alasdair is the co-host of Loremen, a podcast about historical oddities and local legends. With Eleanor Morton, he recently launched Eleanor & Alasdair Read That, a new podcast revisiting classic kids’ books. “An absolute treasure trove” ★★★★★ Chortle
