Each Al Pitcher show is unique. He eclipses his peers with his interactive abilities, his audience never quite knowing where he’s leading them, but thrilled by the journey. With his unpredictable, unsystematic and upbeat
live performances Al has consistently wowed audiences across the country.
Beginning comedy in 1999 and reaching the ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ Award finals held at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Al decided to capitalise on his growing reputation by then becoming a Vegetable Picker in Naas, Ireland. What perhaps is a humble mushroom to you became Al’s golden ticket . But with no accolades in broccoli picking, he returned to stand up. In 2001 he became a BBC New Act Semi-finalist and Daily Telegraph Open Mic Finalist. With live performances in the UK, New York, Shanghai, Bahrain, Paris, Berlin and Auckland, it’s really only a matter of time before you have seen him and met afterwards for a cup of tea. A favourite in all the big clubs like the Glee, Banana Cabaret, Jongleurs and The Stand, Al is now recognised as one of the best comperes on the circuit. A star of the Comedy Zone at the 2003 Edinburgh Festival, Al stormed back to Edinburgh in 2004 with his acclaimed debut solo show and he followed this up the following year with the highly praised Wolfcatcher show.
In 2004 he became the voice of the Fosters Lager TV commercials and Al was commissioned by BBC Radio One to write and perform on a late-night comedy show The Milk Run.
Now with 2 Solo Edinburgh Fringe Festival shows behind him and with A UK tour in Feb/March, a NZ festival debut show and a brand new Edinburgh festival show... It’s time to go experience AL PITCHER.
