Alan Davies: I went to Vietnam solo after a breakup. It sorted me out

Alan Davies, 60, has opened up about his early life and why getting away from home helped him “sorted me out.” The comedian—known for Jonathan Creek, QI and his talk show Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled—recalled his first solo trip at 16 to Magaluf with three 17-year-old school friends. A night out ended with a ketchup-and-mustard fight, police involvement, and his friend Graham being arrested. Davies said police later demanded money from the hotel. Newcastle women raised the cash. He later traveled widely, from Snowdon and the Dolomites to scuba diving training in Leicestershire.
