2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Ali Brice: I Tried To Be Funny, But You Weren't Looking
Ali Brice is embracing life after almost losing it. Three years on, he's admitted defeat and is back on his feet and trying again. Through therapy, friends and... sausages, he's living in the moment and celebrating the little things life has to offer. A sincere, heartfelt and happy show, expect silly stories, big questions, and jokes aplenty from a ridiculous man with a stupid moustache. 'A twinkle-eyed comedy natural' (ShortCom.org). 'Side-splittingly comical' (TheUpcoming.co.uk). 'Joyously bonkers' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Completely bizarre... deadpan, totally off-the-wall' (ThreeWeeks). As seen/heard on BBC and Channel 4.
