-- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Actor, comedian and writer Alan Davies is making a return to the stand-up which first made his name more than twenty years ago.

‘Life is Pain' reveals a new, personal side to the comic, as he draws on the experience of his mother's death and his life as a new father to get laughs from the most emotional recesses of his endearing personality.

Davies was one of the leading voices in the early 90s comedy boom, and his since established himself firmly as a television regular, first as the star of Jonathan Creek, and more recently as Stephen Fry's pseudo-stupid sidekick on QI.

Since his emergence as an actor and panel show regular, Davies abandoned stand-up for over a decade, but made a dramatic return in 2011 with a sold out tour of Australia and, this year, an acclaimed Edinburgh run. Along with the personal revelations in ‘Life is Pain', Davies applies his acute – and cute – brand of surrealist observation to more topical events, including last year's London riots.

He is set to perform two London dates as part of the tour, one at the Richmond and one at the legendary Hackney Empire.
