ABOUT ALEX

Alex began her comedy career during the first 2020 lockdown, performing her first online gig just weeks later. Since then, she has gone from strength to strength, being booked for exciting lineups around the country, and has performed in Germany and the US.

She made her festival fringe debut in 2022, at the Camden Fringe, as part of a split bill with fellow comedian Tasmin Sarkany, to great acclaim, being described as 'charmingly hilarious' and 'delightfully funny'. Alex's debut hour, Burgarmeister, hit the Brighton, Camden, and Oxford Fringe Festivals in 2023. Burgarmeister was shortlisted for the 2023 Lamb Comedy Productions Queer Comedy Award at the Brighton Fringe. Alex was also a semi-finalist in the 2023 Leicester Square New Act Competition.

Alex was the founder of Funny Peculiar at Oxford’s Jolly Farmers, is part of comedy collective Undercover Comedy, and works as a ceilidh dance caller with a number of folk bands. She is also working  a PhD on femininity as a nation-building tool at the Eurovision Song Contest.
