This is such a great show. Really funny but also really moving. You will experience different emotions throughout but he always manages to bring the laughs back even through the darker points of the show. Makes you realise the big impact of cancel culture, also discusses topics such as grief and depression. But despite this also has big laughs throughout. Very engaging and talented. Such a good comedian .

This is a heartfelt, thought provoking stand up routine. It felt very layered and left me with many lasting thoughts. I don't normally go for standup but I laughed a lot, was completely engaged and felt that there was a lot of heart in what was said (plus a few somewhat outrageous jokes).

See Alfie Brown’s show, bask in his caustic gallows humour, engage with him on an almost philosophical level; applaud the triumph.

It is a measure of the 37-year-old’s craft ... that this hour is totally compelling.
