Shows
Not Another Comedy Night is a misleadingly named comedy night hosted by Alfie and Adam Flood every Wednesday at The Florence pub in Herne Hill. It features a mix of new and pro acts trying jokes out in a fun and laid-back way.
On other days, Alfie performs at comedy clubs around London. Which is uselessly vague, he agrees.
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 write interviews with interesting people and to edit content sent in by readers.
