Many people think that "risk" in comedy means doing controversial material. Alexander Bennett demonstrates that there are much more worthy risks that you can take, in a tale of love, presents and emotion.
I'm the emotional daredevil, and for my next feat, I need someone's help. A show about risk, for the unsatisfied and traumatised, from a Chortle Award nominee. 'Surprisingly powerful' ***** (BroadwayWorld.com). 'Balances hilarity with poignant themes' **** (EdFestMag.com). ***** (MumbleComedy.net). **** (One4Review.co.uk). **** (TheQR.co.uk). **** (ScottishField.co.uk). 'Undoubtedly a funny man' (List). 'He holds the audience in the palm of his hand, pulling big laughs from every quadrant - his act doesn't get the attention it should do' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Courageous and thought-provoking' (Scotsman). Creator and host of the Born Yesterday podcast.
