Alexander Bennett’s comedy has been variously described as dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful. He is the co-host, along with comedian Andy Barr, and creator of the high concept Chortle Award nominated podcast Born Yesterday, which has had guests including Phil Wang, Jordan Gray and John Kearns. He has performed his shows on the West End at London's prestigious Soho Theatre. This show is recommended by the British Comedy Guide and had a joke featured in The Times' top jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe. His work has been nominated as part of the Leicester Comedy Festival Awards. He’s recently been featured in The Guardian and heard on 5 Live.
This is a comedy show about risk, for people unsatisfied with how things are going, by multi award nominated comedian Alexander Bennett. For it to work, he needs his audiences to be honest.
Comedy audiences are normally pretty honest. If they find something funny, they laugh. If they don't, they don't. They also respond well to honesty - it helps build the relationship between a performer and the audience. In Emotional Daredevil, Alexander is seeing how far he can push that by inviting his audience to collaborate with him in a unique and unexpected way.
Alexander is taking a big risk every time he performs this show. Will his audiences do the same?
