Biography.
Alfie has been performing comedy since the age of 18 and has been good at it since the age of 22. His love of comedy began as a two-year-old when he would gurgle in delight at Alexei Sayle’s face, later his comedy, and he spent his formative years obsessed with George Carlin and Bill Hicks. He has just returned from a comedy tour of Croatia and will soon be on the road with Mumford And Sons on their Gentlemen Of The Road tour. This will be his fourth year at Edinburgh, having previously performed in 2009’s youth package show The Lunchtime Club, in 2010 alongside Ivo Graham and last year with his debut hour ‘The Love You Take’ which received two excellent reviews, one good and one average. He is an alternative comedian obsessed with truth and morality and a hatred of the world’s fixation with fame and profit. . . He has twice appeared on substandard talking-head shows on both BBC2 and BBC3 for money.
