Alan Davies’ Think Ahead NZ tour 2026

It’s been a decade since his last visit, but Alan Davies is finally coming back to New Zealand this July & August! 

He’s bringing his brand-new stand-up show Think Ahead across the country for nine shows, and this is one show you don’t want to miss. Known for his sharp wit and self-deprecating charm, he’s leanining into the chaos of middle age... more pharmacy runs than gym sessions, constant eye rolls from the kids, and the realisation he’s more Doc Brown than Marty McFly these days. And according to him, he’s funnier than ever.

A familiar face to fans of Jonathan Creek, QI, and his own long-running chat show As Yet Untitled, Alan is one of the UK’s most beloved comedians with a career spanning decades.  

His previous tours sold out across the UK & Australia, and his acclaimed memoirs dive into the highs and lows of life on and off stage. Now, with a fresh set of stories and a new show to share, he’s ready to reconnect with Kiwi audiences once again.
