Edinburgh Fringe
Alexandra Haddow: Not My Finest Hour
The self deprecation of the title perfectly encapsulates Alexandra Haddow's approach to her stand-up. Although she covers some tough ground, she is never more than a few lines away from a gag to undercut the tension.
Have you ever done anything wrong? Alex has; relationships, sex, feminism, kids, even dancing. The only thing she's gotten right was writing a show about it. And losing her virginity. Where we want to be seen publicly to be good, nothing in life is black and white, and the grey part is a lot more fun. 'One of the most exciting new acts on the circuit' (Frankie Boyle). Best New Show nominee (Leicester Comedy Festival 2023). Tour support for Frankie Boyle and Eshaan Akbar. As heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
