2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Alun Cochrane: Brave New Alun
Strap. The heck. In! No more Mr Nice Person! Alun (The Cockerel*) Cochrane intends to drop truth bombs and articulate thoughtcrimes about vegetables, gender, religion and washing machines. *Frank Skinner's Absolute Radio and various telly, innit. Alun Cochrane has been doing solo shows at the Fringe since 2004. He's performed droll, anecdotal, observational comedy on TV panel games and stand-up shows and he's part of the award-winning Frank Skinner show on Absolute Radio. During these offence-taking times he has decided he may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. Apols to vegans.

British Comedy Guide, 12th August 2019The Edinburgh Fringe's top male comedians to watch
Last week I ran a story about the women set to dominate this year's Edinburgh Fringe. I was thinking about posting a companion piece about men, except that when you click on the link you get a blank page. A bit like if someone published a book called The Compassion And Wisdom of Donald Trump and when you open it there is nothing in it.

The Guardian, 12th July 2019Interview with Alun Cochrane
"The Edinburgh festival is very different in location and content from the Woodstock festival. But compared to the Fyre festival on that Netflix documentary there is certainly some overlap. Huge financial losses and enormous hubris to name a few."
