Alan Davies is known for his natural, relatable storytelling skills across the page, the stage, and the screen. 

The comedian is a staple of British television, with roles on the long-running 鈥楯onathan Creek鈥 and popular comedy panel show 鈥楺I鈥.  

It鈥檚 been more than a decade since Davies last did a stand-up tour, but he鈥檚 happy to report it鈥檚 going well. 

鈥淚t had been so long that it was feeling, beginning to feel like a gamble,鈥 he told Jack Tame. 

鈥淚 spent some time unpacking stuff from my childhood, doing a, writing about it, and that process took a while and changed a lot of how I viewed myself, and what I wanted to do, and what I wanted to say. 

This show, 鈥楾hink Ahead鈥, was created at around the same time Davies was writing another volume of his memoir 鈥榃hite Male Stand-Up', which deals with issues from Davies鈥 childhood, career, and his adult life. 

鈥淎nd I鈥檝e got to a place now where I think the show鈥檚 really quite sort of, it鈥檚 a bit richer and deeper, and better than stuff I鈥檝e done before,鈥 he explained. 

鈥淚鈥檓 really sort of proud of it.鈥
