Alasdair Beckett-King was named Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2017 and won the NATYs New Act of the Year in 2014.

His debut solo show The Alasdair Beckett-King Mysteries was a finalist in the Amused Moose Comedy Award 2017. It made Dave's top 10 jokes of the fringe, and went on to sell out at the Soho Theatre.

ABK is a literal Renaissance man. A man for two seasons (autumn and winter). A stand up comedian and animator, ABK has written and performed for BBC radio, and for several indie video games. His stand up clip for 'BBC Scotland Short Stuff' went viral in 2017, with over 2 million views, and you wouldn't believe how little that impressed his dad.

Alasdair has performed stand up across the UK, in Germany, Norway and Romania, at the Utrecht Comedy Festival, at Glastonbury, Latitude and the Edinburgh Fringe.

A graduate of the London Film School, he won a student Royal Television Society award and was nominated for a Student Oscar in 2013. But he hardly ever mentions it.

Alasdair took his second solo show ‘The Interdimensional ABK’ to Edinburgh in 2019 and received a plethora of 4 and 5 star reviews. He is currently developing a sitcom with Rockerdale Studios, the production company behind 'Bobby and Harriet Get Married' on Sky.
