Edinburgh Fringe 2014: The comedy highlights

The most interesting game each year is predicting which lesser-known names will have that magical August that propels them into the big leagues.

What would make an experienced police officer risk his career by doing 'whatever it takes' to get his man?

Alfie Moore, copper turned professional comedian and star of his own BBC Radio 4 series It's a Fair Cop, tasers his way through a brand new hilarious hour - finding the funny in the minutiae and macabre.

The Naked Stun is based on the true story of Alfie's dogged determination to track down a 'serial flasher'.

In this fast-paced show that twists and turns Alfie exposes the seedier side of crime investigation, before reaching a shocking conclusion.

The Naked Stun opens up the world of laws, powers, politics and procedures in place to help (and sometimes hinder) the police, all recounted with the honesty of someone who has really been there. It also takes a controversial look at indecent exposure, treading the line between the Police and public's 'Victorian seaside postcard' attitude to an offence which is not in any way a laughing matter.

After eighteen years at the Humberside Police Force, Alfie Moore hung up his helmet, becoming a professional comedian and making his mark at the Edinburgh Festival with hit shows in 2012 and 2013. Since then he has developed a solid fan base and has gone on to star in his own BBC Radio 4 series It's a Fair Cop which broadcasts this summer.

With an insuppressible knack for storytelling and an everyman likeability, Alfie was one of the stars of Show Me The Funny (ITV) and wrote and presented Alfie Moore's Almanac for BBC Radio. More recently he has been featured on The Wright Stuff (Channel 5), Comic Relief, Sky News, BBC Radio 4's Idiots Guide to Crime and Punishment, Look North, ITV Calendar, and Bizarre Crime (BBC 3), and Confessions of a Police Officer (Channel 4).
