Background
Alfie is a stand up comedian, presenter and corporate speaker who is also a serving sergeant with the Humberside Police. He came slightly later to comedy and brings a wealth of insights and comedy moments from his seventeen years on the beat, where a keen sense of humour has been key to his success and survival!
Born and raised on a council estate in Sheffield he was an apprentice in the steelworks before joining the Police. Early on in Alfie’s career he finished runner up in a national stand-up competition and was well and truly hooked.
He subsequently served a whole new apprenticeship, honing his craft at comedy clubs all over the country. He was then invited to become resident compere at the highly respected Other Side comedy clubs in the north of England.
Areas of Expertise
For the past two years Alfie has written and performed his own one-man show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they have each run for the full 22 nights.
Alfie has an observational comedic style, which lends itself to witty, and sometimes gritty, anecdotes based on everyday modern policing. This ability to present everyday issues in a comedic way has recently led to a commission from an NHS Trust to develop and perform material to raise awareness of issues about mens health.
“You have the right to remain silent - but you can’t help but laugh.”

Client Comments
Alfie was our headline act and lived up to that billing brilliantly. He had a mixed audience of over 260 in the palm of his hand with hilarious stories and well worked gags about life in the Force. His delivery was expert and he went down brilliantly. Everybody we've spoken to since singled Alfie out as one of the highlights of the 9 act line up.
Furthermore, Alfie was a real help in the planning and promotion of the event - his input and advice was invaluable. What was even more invaluable was the fact that the media absolutely loved Alfie as a serving police sergeant turned comedian. We got a huge amount more exposure thanks to this - much more so even than promoting it using our more well-known acts.
Alfie is a great comedian, a boon in promoting an event, a pleasure to deal with and a gent. I would highly recommend Alfie to promoters and friends seeking a fun night out."
Max Newton British Red Cross Society Senior Fundraiser – Yorkshire
‘First of all let me thank you on a personal level for coming to the Benefit Night. I have to say that you seemed like you had been compering shows for at least 50 years!
The whole committee were extremely impressed with you. Well done.
Thank you for everything.’
Paul and Wraparound Community Action Group, Castleford
“I would like to thank you on behalf of all the 120 officers and staff who attended the joint training weekend on 19 - 21st September. I can honestly say that we have never had such a good time at one of these events - and that is solely down to your hilariously funny slant on modern policing. Being an officer yourself, you understand the ‘police sense of humour’ and captured the mood of the weekend perfectly”.
Helen Lindsay Training Co-ordinator, Scottish Police College
Just a quick note to thank you for an excellent performance at our sportsman's dinner last Friday. Having organised the event, the success or otherwise of the event is entirely down to the performance of the speakers, and I have been getting very positive feedback from a few of the other guests.
I thought your performance was spot on Alfie and exactly what we needed, I would have no hesitation in recommending you for similar gigs.
David Wilson Fundraising Chairman Hull 36 Round Table
“Thank you Alfie for your outstanding work for Bloke Jokes and Hull Comedy Festival – I really mean that!
Your brief to write and perform comedy material on the subject of men’s health, in challenging environments, was a very tough one. You undoubtedly rose to the challenge.
With hindsight, I’m delighted that we selected you to take on the challenge as your approach, ongoing communication, dedication to the cause and performance on stage were excellent.
I would heartily recommend you to anyone that requires a first class service, as well as a top quality comedian. I’ve enjoyed working with you and hope to do so again in the near future”.
John Gilbert, Director of Hull Comedy Festival – November 2009
