Alfie is a stand up comedian who is also a
serving sergeant
with the Humberside Police. He came slightly
later to
comedy and brings a wealth of insights and comedy
moments from his sixteen years on the beat, where
a keen
sense of humour has been key to his success and
survival!
Born and raised on a council estate in Sheffield
he was an
apprentice in the steelworks before joining the
Police.
Alfies comedy debut was an impulsive last minute
entry into
a national stand up competition, where he
finished runner up
and was well and truly hooked!
He subsequently served a whole new
apprenticeship,
honing his craft at comedy clubs all over the
country. He was
then invited to become resident compere at the
highly
respected Other Side comedy clubs in the north of
England.
In August 2008 he took his own show to Edinburgh,
where
it played for the full 22 days of the Fringe
Festival.
Alfie has an observational comedic style, which lends
itself
to witty, and sometimes gritty, anecdotes based
on
everyday modern policing. He enjoys writing all
his own
material, which he finds therapeutic, and is
always ready to
laugh at himself.
