2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Alexander Bennett: Housewives' Favourite
Tragedy + time + a desperate need to fill a void in your heart = comedy. Alexander Bennett is an award-nominated comedian and creator of the cult fringe show Hell To Play. He's emotionally broken and quietly desperate. Funny guy. **** (Stage). ***** (One4Review.co.uk). 'Touched with madness - refreshingly different material' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Warm, insane and very funny' (Steven Appleby, Guardian). 'Inspired; A comedian with plenty of potential' (Skinny). 'His sharp interpretations of the world around him add a sinister spin to the everyday - unique and hilarious' (TheReviewsHub.com).
