Alistair Clarke: On the record

High fidelity stand-up comedy. After almost a decade of shifting vinyl in an independent record shop, Alastair brings you a show about the stark reality of living your dreams. A show that waxes lyrical about crate digging, needle dropping and arguing with children about Limp Bizkit.

After two smash-hit runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025 and 2026, Alastair Clark hit the road and brought his standup comedy show about working in an independent record shop to independent record shops across the country as part of the world’s first ‘record store comedy tour’
