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. He's a favourite in all the big clubs like the Glee, Banana Cabaret, Jongleurs and The Stand.
