Alex Kealy: The Fear
After an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, and fresh from supporting Jack Dee on tour, Alex Kealy (The Now Show, Gig Pigs with Ivo Graham) brings The Fear on a tour between February and July 2025.
Last year, 2024, was the best year of Alex's life. He got married and is, bluntly, happy. But if you're an anxious overthinker and it's going well, you just start thinking about when it'll all end. You get "the fear".
But what's at the root of these personal anxieties? If Alex cannot win the war with the voices in his head, can't he at least achieve a plausible UN-administered power-sharing agreement with them? Is it possible to achieve a positive transformation of your psychological make-up if you're not cool enough to take Ayahuasca?
Don't be too afraid of The Fear, though - there'll also be loads of great jokes fashioned out of his over-examination of coffee machines, the book of Ephesians, duty-free shopping, monarchy, how love is like totalitarianism, beach holidays, death, losing your voice, organised religion and Toblerone.
