Do you have a critical inner voice? Join Alexander as he interrogates his own, tries to kill it, then comes for yours.
‘Holds the audience in the palm of his hand, pulling big laughs from every quadrant’
Chortle

A show about hating yourself and, amongst other things, choosing not to.

Alexander hosts the high-concept podcast Born Yesterday with Andy Barr, is the creator of the cult comedy game show Hell To Play and regularly works with the acclaimed Alternative Comedy Memorial Society and Weirdos collectives.

He was a key player in Mark Watson’s Comedy Marathon, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated Dan Vs Food, a charity event at Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh, in which a cast of 25+ comedians (inc. Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Nick Helm, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham) watched a man called Dan eat his lunch. He has recently appeared on Radio 4, Insane in the Men Brain, Shame is Delicious and The Comedian’s Comedian podcast. Alexander has filmed several stand-up specials and has been a guest lecturer at the Royal College of Art and Fourth Monkey Theatre Company.
