ALOK announces stand-up comedy show in Dublin

ALOK has announced a stand-up comedy show in Dublin's Ambassador Theatre, set to take place on Friday, July 31.

The comedian is said to bring a unique performance that blends poetry and comedy, exploring themes of identity, belonging and the human condition.

Alok Vaid-Menon, known as ALOK, is an American non-binary transfeminine comedian, writer, poet, performance artist, and actor. Their work addresses violence against trans and gender non-conforming people and critiques constraining gender norms.

In 2024, they featured in Netflix's comedy special Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda and released their own comedy special BIOLOGY!, which was executive-produced by Christopher Guest.

ALOK has published three books: Femme in Public (2017), Beyond the Gender Binary (2020), and Your Wound, My Garden (2021).

Elsewhere, they have a short self-titled documentary directed by Alex Hedison, which premiered in 2024 at the Sundance Film Festival.

Tickets for the show are available now here.
