Alexandros Tsouvelas — Alien: The Return

Ninety minutes of Greek stand-up in the moat, heavy on improvisation. In Greek, over-16s, €16.

Tsouvelas has been one of the most reliable draws on the Greek stand-up circuit for years, and Alien: The Return is his current touring hour and a half, built from topical material, written bits and a lot of improvisation with characters he pulls out on the night. The East Moat theatre suits him: stone walls, open sky, a big crowd that laughs as one thing. This is a Greek-language show with no surtitles, so it is one for Greek speakers rather than a first pick for visitors without the language. Rated over-16s. Tickets are €16 general and €11 for disabled visitors, sold online through More, and it runs ninety minutes.
