Al Porter

After six years, Al Porter returns better than ever. His new stand up is personal and hilarious and has to be seen to be believed. In 2017, Al was accused of inappropriate behaviour dating back to when he was 19 and 21.

Now he’s 31 and he brings a unique perspective and big laughs to that story of early success, f*cking up and changing for the better to turn your life around. Following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run in 2023, gigs at top festivals alongside John Bishop and Jim Jefferies, supporting Reginald D Hunter on his UK tour (2024), three sold out Vicar Sts this year, a nationwide Irish tour and writing and directing Dublin’s 30lympia Panto, Al is back bringing big laughs!
