Newly single Alan Carr is heading Stateside in a bid to crack America.
Alan gained notoriety in the US with his appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and its current UK vs the World series – and with his popularity growing, he has scheduled a few intimate gigs to test the waters.
He admits he is worried about the prospect. It comes after he split from his husband of three years Paul Drayton following 13 years together.
The comic, whose close friend Adele lives in LA, is in the middle of his Regional Trinket tour, and explains: “I’ve done a bit of Europe, I’m going back to Australia and New Zealand – I love it – and I’ve done Canada.
“And, this is an exclusive, I’m going to do some very tiny, tiny dates in America. I’m scared. Should I be scared?”
Alan was chatting to fellow comic Russell Howard on the new episode of his Life’s A Beach podcast, which is out today.
When told that US audiences usually stand to greet a comic, Alan quipped: “Thank God you told me, because if I came on and everyone got up, I’d have been like: ‘Some of my jokes aren’t the freshest but give me a chance.’”
