ALOK

Third time’s the charm? Internationally condemned stand-up comedian ALOK returns to the Fringe with their most intimate show yet: a comedy about love, heartbreak, and the end times.

Their therapist said stop dating projects, so they built one and are charging admission. A journey of self-discovery… and poor decision-making. With razor-sharp wit, ALOK dissects desire, denial, and the stories we tell ourselves to keep going. Suffering is universal. It might as well be funny.

ALOK (they/them) is an internationally acclaimed poet, comedian, public speaker, and actor. ALOK’s literary works “Beyond the Gender Binary,” “Femme in Public,” and “Your Wound, My Garden,” have garnered global recognition. Their dynamic presence has captivated audiences in over 40 countries, with sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Netflix is a Joke Festival. ALOK’s first comedy special BIOLOGY! was executive produced by Christopher Guest.

They are the subject of the docu-short “ALOK” executive produced by Jodie Foster and directed by Alex Hedison, which made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024. On screen, they can also be seen in Complicated Order, The Trans List, and Absolute Dominion. On television, they can be seen on HBO’s Sex Lives of College Girls, Sort Of and Random Acts of Flyness, Hulu’s Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne, and Netflix’s Gender Agenda Comedy Special and Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness.
