Alan Smith: Fast, Tight Stand Up Comedy in Sydney

Al Smith, or Alan Smith if you're his mum, has been putting in the work on the Sydney comedy circuit and it bloody shows. Night after night, room after room. The Nelson Hotel in Bondi Junction, The Drummer in Glebe, Buddy's Bar in Newtown, he's done the reps, and the chops are there to prove it. You think you've clocked where the joke's going, and then suddenly you're two steps behind wondering what just happened.

Fast and tight, his delivery doesn't waste a word. The material lands because he's actually sweated over it in front of real crowds, not workshopped it to death in a notebook. Sydney comedy fans who've seen him live know he lifts a lineup, he’s the one people mention on the way home.

Kookaburra’s Comedy has made him a regular on their lineups, which is a proper stamp of approval from one of Sydney's most respected producers. Roast battle tournaments are also on his CV, which tells you he's not shy about going to war. This city's got a sharp eye for who's got it, and Sydney's already made up its mind about Al.
