Alasdair Beckett-King brings his sellout Edinburgh Fringe show Nevermore to the Arts Centre in Devizes Road on Tuesday 7 May.
He is best known for several viral internet hits, appearances on Mock The Week and a debut performance on Comedy Central Live.
His debut on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is due later this year, and Alasdair has also written two children’s books.
A spokesperson said: "Sea levels have been rising Alasdair’s whole life. But for the first 16 years he was getting taller, so he didn’t notice. Now 6ft2ins, Alasdair Beckett-King is the only comedian brave enough to speak out against that wet b*stard: The North Sea.
"Nevermore is more than an anti-sea diatribe. As a 500 year old man, ABK is uniquely poised to draw parallels between the history of the ever- shrinking British Isles, and his own childhood in the swinging 1990s."
The multi award- winning stand-up comedian unravels some of life's shallowest mysteries, including:

The multi award- winning stand-up comedian unravels some of life's shallowest mysteries, including:
- What are train guards actually guarding?
- Why wasn’t Jaws set in County Durham?
- Does his hair do that on its own?
The spokesperson added: "Out of the swirling maelstrom he steps, his sword of jokes, his shield of mischief and his armour made of a third amusing thing.
"The show that many people are calling 'Nevermore' is an island in a sea of existential terror and entirely justified fears. It is silly, faintly mystical and does not (at the time of going to press) feature any ravens.
"It is also a real show with jokes and everything."
Tickets for the Arts Centre show, which starts at 8pm, can be obtained here.
