Al Porter

Following up his Sold Out tour in 2023/24, Al’s back with AL PORTER ALGORITHM where his unique brand of exciting, energetic and fun loving comedy meets his most relatable stories ever!
Why does Instagram think he needs to get assessed? Can you learn to love renting in a house share? Can his parents deal with empty nest syndrome? Why is his brother the golden child?  And much more! 
One of few Irish comics ever nominated for a Perrier Award (like Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran before him) Al’s 2023/24 show “Now” was critically acclaimed with reviews like, “Gloriously upbeat! No self pity… Irrepressible stand up storytelling (Chortle ★★★★) and ★★★★ “Dazzling…Brilliant and very funny” (The Scotsman)
AL PORTER’s ALGORITHM is trying to find a formula for living in a world on fire!  Just like online, in life, you’ll see more of what you pay attention to and Al’s always on the look out for the upside!
