Shows
Alfie is a resident MC at Comedy Bandits, which happens every Wednesday and Thursday at The Railway Tavern in Clapham. It features a mix of new and pro acts trying jokes out in a fun and laid-back way. You can book tickets here.
Alfie is headed to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Camden Fringe in August 2023.
In his new show, he will unwrap love, death and less thematic stuff like shoplifting, football and milk.
Journalism
Alfie has written for The Guardian since 2016. He was a commissioning editor on the education desk before joining the 'community' team in early 2021, where his job is to interview interesting people and to edit content sent in by readers.
