Alexei Sayle, who has taught several writing workshops for London Writing Workshops over the past few years, has gone back to his old love: stand-up comedy – or as Time Out put it: ‘A true legend goes back to his roots.’

Alexei has been on tour in the rest of the UK, now London has a chance to see his first full-length, solo, stand-up show in 16 years with a series of dates at Soho Theatre’s new comedy venue (’20s Berlin meets 50s New York, meets 21st century Soho’).

A rare opportunity to see a comedy legend at work. ‘His comic control remains something rare and wonderful’ says The Times. ‘Still gobby and self-deprecating’ says the Evening Standard.
