Alison Curtis is joined on Weekend Breakfast by comedian, actor and QI legend Alan Davies, ahead of his long-awaited return to touring Ireland after a decade away.

They chat about his new stand-up show Think Ahead, what it’s like hitting the road again at 60, and why he’s still loving the risk and buzz of being on stage — even if travelling isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Alan also shares behind-the-scenes stories from QI (including the one episode he missed… for Arsenal), his love of Derry Girls, and how becoming a dad shaped his life, his books, and what he chooses to bring into his comedy.

Catch Alan live: Cork Opera House Oct 12, Ulster Hall Belfast Oct 13, and 3Olympia Theatre Dublin Oct 14.
