I'm an award-winning stand-up who regularly performs at clubs up and down the country.
In February 2026 I performed my work-in-progress solo show, ‘May Find Distressing’ at Soho Theatre.
Here are some other things I'm proud of:

“Alex’s material’s so prescient at the moment...so many good lines in that set....I laughed a lot...I just thought there was an awful lot of astute material there...and a really great performing style.”
Gigged this week with @mollmcguinness who was so funny, really exciting comedy mind, and @alexbertanades who is an absolute sniper. I've really missed out on seeing new acts over the last 2y; really exciting to see such fizzing imaginations
