Comedian Alex Mitchell, a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent 2024, is setting out on his first tour.
His debut show, Tics Towards Perfection, tackles his desperate obsession for perfection and being "the best version" of himself. He explores how and if he'll ever achieve this, and how this has and continues to impact his life. Reflecting on society's perception of queer, disabled, and neurodiverse communities, as well as his own perception of himself, Mitchell creates a heartwarming, emotional but always hilarious show.
"2024 was a mad year for me, I cannot wait to get into 2025 and start my debut tour with a show that means so much to me and I'm so proud of. Brace yourself, you're about to see a whole lot more of Mitchell... I can only apologise."
Alex Mitchell is a queer, autistic comic with functional neurological disorder (FND). He is originally from Bedford but grew up in Yorkshire. He uses self-deprecating humour - laughing at himself, his neurodivergence, disability and sexuality - to reflect on some of the most difficult subjects within his own life and wider society. He wowed the judges and British public on Britain's Got Talent 2024, making it to the final. He was also You Can Laugh You Know's disabled comedian of the Year 2023, Funhouse Comedy Gong Show Winner 2023 and Beat the Frog Winner 2024..
