Award-winning comedian Alfie Brown is back with a new show. Open Hearted Human Enquiry will play over 40 UK and Irish venues and conclude at the Leicester Square Theatre, London in December 2024.
In 2022 Alfie Brown’s career was flourishing – he’d guested on a wide variety of TV and radio shows including BBC’s Live at the Appollo and his show Sensitive Man was nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award and it won the 2022 Chortle Best Show Award.
But in 2023 Alfie Brown was cancelled. He lost his agent, his manager, his tour and his run of shows at London’s Soho Theatre were cancelled. Old footage emerged and was widely shared of him using a racial slur in the context of a joke about intersectionality - Alfie Brown tells woke jokes in a non-woke fashion.
In this new show, at the side of a Center Parcs subtropical swimming paradise, he recounts how his world fell apart and accounts for his mistakes.
Open Hearted Human Enquiry, directed by John Brittain, was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2024.
Recently described by comedian Stewart Lee as “The best British stand-up I have seen for some years”, Alfie has been performing stand up for 18 years and has attracted great critical acclaim for numerous shows. He has appeared on a wide variety of TV including BBC’s Live At The Apollo, C4’s Gameface, Comedy Central’s Roast Battle and ITV2’s Stand-up Sketch Show. His show Sensitive Man won the 2022 Chortle Best Show Award and was nominated for the 2022 Edinburgh Comedy Award. This is his first show since the cancellation of his Red Flags Galore tour in 2023.
