Friday June 29th. Alfie Moore, Dan Evans, Pete Teckman. MC James Cook.
Our headline act is Alfie Moore. Alfie is an original and distinctive comedian with his niche area as a serving police sergeant. He came slightly later to comedy and brings a wealth of insights and comedy moments from his eighteen years on the beat, where a keen sense of humour has been the 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 where he has served for eighteen years, gathering a wealth of hilarious stories that you ‘just couldn’t make up’.
Alfie was inspired to take up stand-up comedy in 2007 after his first taste of live comedy at a local comedy club. He quickly became well and truly hooked and was soon performing regularly up and down the country.
He has an observational comedic style, which lends itself to witty, and sometimes gritty, anecdotes based on everyday modern policing. He also is an adept socio-political commentator and weaves this all together with his take on the ‘comedy gold’ of life.
Alfie was one of the stars of ‘Show Me The Funny’ (ITV) and wrote and presented ‘Alfie Moore’s Almanac’ for BBC Radio. He has been featured on The Wright Stuff (Channel 5), Comic Relief, Sky News, BBC Radio 4’s Idiots Guide to Crime and Punishment, BBC Look North, ITV Calendar, Bizarre Crime (BBC 3), Confessions of a Police Officer (Channel 4) and recently joined the presenting team of Criminals Caught on Camera (Channel 5). His BBC Radio 4 comedy series ‘IT’S A FAIR COP’ debuted in July 2014. Following exceptional feedback, from listeners and media reviews, two further series have aired with a fourth series commissioned for 2018. “… a genuinely lovely, accomplished comic with a huge following both live and on the radio. Wonderful, warm, funny….. with thought-provoking stuff and real shocks”. The Scotsman
Dan Evans. For over a decade Dan's accessible but childish surrealism has delighted audiences throughout the UK and Ireland. He's also had his grammar corrected by Dutch and German crowds; performed for chubby sweating ex-pats in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Thailand, and is one of just two UK comics to play Hanoi, Vietnam. He's appeared on BBC 2's 'Brain Candy', 'Channel 5 at The Store' and the Channel 5'Comedy Zone', Radio 2's 'Stand Up Show' and '28 acts in 28 minutes' on Radio 4. 'A favourite with audiences as well as with his notoriously hard-to-please comedic peers' The Guardian.
Also on the bill is Pete Teckman. Pete made his stand up comedy debut in a heat of the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competition in 2008 where he qualified for the quarter final (which was his second gig)! Since then Pete has progressed through open mic nights and gong shows to become a regular and popular performer on the UK standup comedy circuit.
MC - James Cook. James is a professional comedian based in Birmingham, UK, with over 1,000 gigs worth of experience. His act has been described as “truly original” (Danny Wallace (off of the telly)) whereas he’s been called “suave and chirpy” by that publishing powerhouse, the Bromsgrove Advertiser.
Tickets £10 in advance and to members or £12 on the door. Available in person from the club, on 01954 260557 or online from here
Despite our best efforts, sometimes life gets in the way and acts have to be changed at short notice. Sorry about that.
