Alan Davies, one of the UK's best-loved comedians and actors (star of Jonathan Creek and QI) returns to Edinburgh after a completely sold out tour in Australia with his brand new show Life is Pain. Following a break from stand-up that lasted a decade, his acute brand of surreal observational storytelling is back. This is sure to be a hot ticket! 'If you like the TV Alan you'll love the live Alan. And if you don't like the TV Alan, you'll love the live Alan even more' (Independent on Sunday).
