With an infectious energy and razor-sharp observational humor, he engages audiences of all backgrounds, making them laugh, think, and connect on a deeper level.

Over the past two decades, Alan has starred in over 20 one-man comedy shows, including Defending the Caveman, Laughing Matters, and the wildly popular The Lying King.

Alan’s reputation for excellence extends beyond the theatre and into the corporate world, where he is a sought-after Master of Ceremonies and keynote speaker.
