Alexander Bennett - “Passionate and praiseworthy dark observational comedy” THE SKINNY
A new show about trust. One audience member will have to volunteer to sit on stage for the whole show. If you do, you'll be fine. Trust me.

‘Fun, funny, tremendously engaging and even frequently joyous. He holds the audience in the palm of his hand, pulling big laughs from every quadrant. His act doesn’t get the attention it should do’ CHORTLE
Alexander has collaborated with Mark Watson, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food, in which a cast of 25+ comedians (including Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Phil Wang, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham) watched a man called Dan eat his lunch. He has recently appeared on Radio 4, Insane in the Men Brain, Shame is Delicious and The Comedian's Comedian podcast.
He is the creator of Hell To Play and the Born Yesterday podcast.
