ALOK puts comedy and poetry on the same bill at the Vic Theatre. The live show brings Alok Vaid-Menon’s two named performance forms together, making the movement between a joke and a poem part of its appeal. Choose it if a spoken-word evening that crosses formats sounds more interesting than a single-style comedy set.

What to expect

The announced program includes both comedy and poetry performed live by ALOK. The listing does not specify a segment-by-segment running order, so treat the two forms as the premise rather than expecting a particular split between them.

Good to know

  • Book the ALOK listing at the Vic Theatre.
  • The program includes poetry as well as comedy.
  • Check venue entry requirements before reserving.
  • Contact the theatre about any seating or access needs.
