Scunthorpe comedian Alfie Moore is Britain’s favourite police sergeant. He lifts the lid on some of the more peculiar and unusual aspects of life on the beat - making for a hilarious live comedy show. With exciting and hysterical stories from his policing days, sprinkled with perfect punchlines and a quick wit, Alfie is a charming comedian with a wonderful grasp of storytelling. Alfie’s gigs feel like a series of secrets unleashed for the first time and thus audiences enjoy the exclusivity of his act. Having sold out the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he has continued to make waves throughout the world of comedy.
His light-hearted and empathic form of humour has won him many plaudits from all over the country. Peep Show star David Mitchell decided that Alfie was his highlight of the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe. Having appeared in The Independent, on Radio 4 with It’s a Fair Cop and Radio 5 Live, Alfie’s popularity has multiplied. Following his stint on ITV’s Show Me The Funny, he has become one of the UK comedians to watch. He is on his fifth tour of the UK with his fan favourite Getting Away With Murder which follows further sell-out tours.
The It’s a Fair Cop radio show took listeners by storm, cuffing themselves to their armchairs to hear out the cheeky cop. Debuting in July 2014 to widespread critical acclaim, the Radio 4 show has had two further series air since, with a fourth series commissioned for 2018. Alfie’s real-life perspective of life on the force will alter the audience’s views on the policing world, and equally, leave them in fits of laughter.
Alfie has become one of the most sought-after UK comedians since he took a career break from policing and sees similarities between the two career paths that have claimed his professional life. He said in an interview with The Guardian: ‘[The jobs] are very similar in many ways’ before adding, ‘You have to make an instant connection with people under pressure. You need them on board very quickly or things are going to go wrong.’ A natural showman with real-world experience, Alfie brings an exhilarating and heartwarming show to impress guests at corporate events and more.
