You never quite what you'll get with Alfie Brown, whether you'll get an amicable charmer or a more prickly foe who seems to treat the audience with mild contempt, you'll nevertheless be thrilled by his energy. Luckily the show I watched had him in good spirits with some deft audience interaction and scintillating stand up.
He's not a Mr Nice Guy, indeed he tears away the nicety of Britishness and shows us the Truth of the world with comedic deft that is frightfully entertaining. His final joke about Black Privilege shows us just how well Brown's able to wrangle with tricky concepts to get us on board with his ideas. He's always eloquent and articulate, cynical and at unease with the world, his show is a sheer delight in shaking up our comfortable ways and seeks to make us sit up and listen. A very well deserved Best Show nomination for this year too.
