Standup Alistair Clark to perform at Rough Trade on his tour of record shops
Liverpool standup Alistair Clark spent nearly a decade selling vinyl in an independent record shop before pursuing a full-time comedy career.
Now, he is combining his twin passions with a tour of his solo show around indie record stores and grassroots venues around the country.
On The Record will visit Bristol’s Rough Trade on May 22. Blending standup, storytelling and a host of musical references, it’s a show full of stories from a world that Clark still keeps close to his heart.
Alastair Clark, On The Record
The tone shifts between “funny, nostalgic and quietly moving” as he explores the magic of record stores, and the communities of music fans that surround them.
“What began as a job”, he reflects, went on to become “a defining part” of his identity. “The show explores what it means to leave that behind.”
