Show details:

Alfie Joey

Alfie Joey is a man of many talents. An artist, broadcaster, podcaster, comedian, communication coach, Ted X speaker, impressionist, interviewer, charity auctioneer, motivator, children’s author, MC... take your pick! Alfie Joey has covered a lot of ground & cultivated many skills in his time on this spinning rock.

For over two decades Alfie has been in demand as a host, comic and speaker in the corporate, entertainment & charity sectors. He has motivated and inspired people at Ted X, MC’d Wembley Arena, acted in sitcoms and pantomime, presented the breakfast show on BBC Newcastle for over a decade, and his Britain's Got Talent appearance was watched by over 10 million people on prime-time TV, and has been viewed over 3 million times on YouTube.

“Alfie is a star. He'd be the funny neighbour in a sitcom, the one who everybody in the studio audience cheers for. Alfie spreads joy like a virus, he will make you glad to be alive” - TimeOut

“A cheerful and natural talent, Alfie has plenty in his comedic bag of tricks to spread good cheer through any audience. With his spot-on impersonations and enthusiastic banter, he'd be right at home at a Royal Variety Performance... his effusive bonhomie is genuine and his material original and funny” - Chortle

Chris Brooker

One of comedy’s heavy hitters, Chris Brooker’s infectious energy and enthusiasm sweeps through a room like an irresistible force. Chris’ combination of hilarious, original material and inspired improvisation means that you will never see the same routine twice. Immensely likeable, there’s no doubting his ability to win over any crowd and drag them along for the ride.

Described only half-accurately as comedy's ginger viking, Chris has taken his brand of comedy and compering all over the UK as well to the US and Canada. In 2008 he made history when he became the first foreign player to be chosen for the All-Star team at the ComedySportz World Championship in Portland, Oregon. Currently in high demand as an MC due to his ability to energise a room and think on his feet, Chris is also a polished performer with three full length solo shows under his belt. The most recent of which, Unstoppable, played to glowing reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.
