Alasdair Beckett-King
Alasdair Beckett-King is the crumbliest comedian in the game: he is a multi-award-winning stand-up comic, author (occasionally), an internet sensation and breakout star of Mock The Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats. In 2026, he will embark on his third UK tour, entitlred King Of Crumbs.
There has been talk recently of stand-up producing an endless conveyor belt of identikit observational comedians with one eye on a spot on Live at the Apollo. The cynics saying this clearly don't go to the New Acts Of The Year Final. This long-running competition, previously staged at the Hackney Empire, always throws up a few curveballs, but last night at the Bloomsbury Theatre it excelled itself with a particularly high score on the eccentricity-meter.
Comedian, illustrator and filmmaker Alasdair-Beckett King was crowned the latest New Act of the Year at the Bloomsbury Theatre tonight (Sunday). Except that in a change to the usual tradition instead of being named winner, he was proclaimed "Top of the Bill". An unusual title, but one in keeping with the organisers Claire and Roland Muldoon's old school left-wing philosophy in which everyone is a winner.
