Fresh from sell-out shows in Australia and New Zealand don’t miss your chance to catch Al Pitcher return to the UK with this multi-award winning show.

As he goes about his life AL PITCHER sees a lot of ordinary things...but he never sees them in an ordinary way. Al’s mind is a seething ball of snakes, constantly twisting, flipping, and distorting. Turning the mundane insane, nothing is ever humdrum in the head of Al Pitcher.

The Al Pitcher Picture Show Tour of the World presents the finest, hilarious and most unique pictures Al has taken on his global travels from Mumbai to Milton Keynes, via Melbourne and Malmo interspersed with pictures from his present day spent in TOWN

Every day we see things we’ve never seen before, things that strike us as odd or beautiful. But when these become repetitive, we no longer even notice them. Al believes that if we all stopped and took a moment to take in the world around us, we could give ourselves the chance to let a little bit more joy into our lives.

Many comics will tell you that a 'funny thing happened on the way to the gig'. In The Al Pitcher Picture Show, Al has the pictures to prove it. There are no second takes, no editing – this is freewheeling, spontaneous and unmistakably live comedy at its best, from one of the freshest and most innovative voices of the stand up circuit.
