In 2007, Alex began performing stand up, he became one of the state finalists in Triple J's RAW Comedy competition in 2009. Alex then relocated to Los Angeles after a stint in radio, with a show on SAFM & Austereo’s digital comedy station Barry. While in LA, he performed duties for The Hot Hits shows, gathering content from various A-List celebrities at red carpet events.

Five years after, Alex took another turn on his career which saw him bring his various YouTube characters, songs and stand-up comedy to life in a hilarious live stage solo show, Alex Williamson and Friends. This and his subsequent live shows have sold out shows at all the major comedy festivals since 2012.

Alex went on to tour Australia, leaving a trail of sold-out theatres in his wake, before heading on to 2013, 2014 and 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, where on his debut he was called 'the future of comedy' by the most notorious reviewer in the UK, The Scotsman’s Kate Copstick.

Witness this hilarious lineup of shows and see what comedy looks like in the 21st Century!
