About Alistair McGowan
Alistair began his career voicing characters on the iconic Spitting Image and has since become a mainstay of British comedy and broadcasting. His credits span everything from stand-up and sketch comedy to West End theatre (Art, Cabaret, Little Shop of Horrors) and panel shows like Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, and QI. He’s also an accomplished writer, having penned comedy for radio and television as well as several plays and a novel.
As a live performer, Alistair is in constant demand for his brilliantly funny after-dinner sets, hosting skills, and unique ability to tailor his impressions to suit any audience. He regularly headlines comedy events and has toured extensively with his own shows, including the sell-out An Evening Shared with Jasper Carrott.
In recent years, Alistair has added “concert pianist” to his remarkable CV. After returning to the piano in his late forties, he released The Piano Album through Sony Classical, which topped the classical charts. His acclaimed Piano Show blends short classical pieces with comedy and impressions — a format that continues to delight audiences across the UK.
Alistair is also an experienced awards host and corporate event moderator. Charming, professional and quick on his feet, he brings both gravitas and humour to every stage he steps on.
Off stage, Alistair is a passionate environmentalist and long-time campaigner for organisations such as WWF-UK, Sustrans, and The Woodland Trust. Fun fact: he’s never owned a car!
Whether you’re looking for a witty awards host, a memorable After Dinner Speaker, or a comedian who can truly entertain, Alistair McGowan is an outstanding choice.
