Holly Williams, The Independent, 17th March 2012How we met: Mark Watson & Alex Horne
'He's the ideal person you'd want to be in the trenches with, as he's so calm'
Adam Jacques, The Independent, 22nd January 2012Programmes that pull together a bunch of festival turns are often ragged and random - not this one. As your compere Arthur Smith explains at the top of the show, all the acts have at least a modicum of BBC4 sensibility about them. Alex Horne and his, um, Horne Section offer silly but dazzling musical comedy, while Tim Key does something similarly clever and stupid with his poems. David O'Doherty has a Bontempi organ and a unique way with words, while Nina Conti offers an ingenious and brilliantly improvised variation on her familiar ventriloquist routine.

Sophie Elmhirst, The New Statesman, 10th February 2011Edinburgh Interview: Alex Horne
Fringe favourite Alex Horne is performing three shows in Edinburgh this year, but which to see? The gambling one, the jazzy one or the one with loads of ridiculous comedy tasks? To help you decide, Emma McAlpine gets the low-down from the horse's mouth...
Emma McAlpine, Spoonfed, 25th August 2010My Edinburgh: Alex Horne, comedian
This will be my son's first Edinburgh Festival. He was only six weeks old in August last year so we didn't think he'd appreciate it. I hope he's ready.
