Pleasance

Admin

'Mrs Richardson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?' In 2011, Alexander Fox left school and went to music college, where he began an illicit affair with his drum teacher. Their lives became intertwined, then increasingly dark and dangerous as Alexander learned a few more lessons at college than he'd anticipated. Set in a recording studio around an electronic drum kit, Whiplash meets The Graduate in this drumming comedy experience, from the creator of cult hit Ringo, and one of the UK's most innovative and adventurous new talents. 'Brilliantly funny and inventive' (David Walliams). 'Excellent' (Jack Dee).

Did you hear about the comics sharing a flat at Fringe?

Performing at the fringe can cost a fortune - little wonder so many comics bunk in together. We drop in on Jon Richardson, Rose Matafeo and Josie Long, among others, to see how they live.

British Comedy Guide, 28th July 2019

Interview with Alexander Fox

"I don't think that comedians and comedy-writers should be forced to create work that is the most 'shareable' and 'hashtag-able', because it creates a drive-thru comedy consumer culture, devoid of nuance and especially genuine and real emotion"
