Award-winning comedian Alfie Brown is back with a brand new show. Lauded and award-winning, latterly disgraced, his distinctive, provocative voice has been a stalwart on the circuit for 20 years, since he entered the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competition in January 2006. This new show will open at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Underbelly, Belly Laugh) and will tour UK venues throughout the autumn.
‘A show so entertaining you can scarcely believe it. Written and performed(both!) by a man in crisis, desperate to find meaning in life. As technology makes life easier, where do we find value? What is stand-up comedy for? Buy a ticket and find out. Let me amuse you as you’ve never been amused before; I doubt you’ll ever need amusing again.’
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 20 years and has garnered critical acclaim throughout his career. He has appeared on a wide variety of TV shows, including BBC’s Live At The Apollo, C4’s Gameface, Comedy Central’s +, 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. His last show, Open Hearted Human Enquiry (The Last Canceled Comedian), explored the cancellation of his Red Flags Galore tour in 2023 and is now available as a full comedy special on YouTube. Alfie is a regular podcaster, including ‘Before We Break-up Again’ with Jessie Cave and ‘Dirty Air F1’ with Josh Weller.
