A work-in-progress of a new show about the risk of trust. I call it trusk. I should probably stop calling it that.Alexander has collaborated with Mark Watson, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food, in which a cast of 25+ comedians (including Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Phil Wang, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham) watched a man called Dan eat his lunch. He has recently appeared on Radio 4, Insane in the Men Brain, Shame is Delicious and The Comedian's Comedian podcast.He is the creator of Hell To Play and the Born Yesterday podcast."Fun, funny, tremendously engaging and even frequently joyous. He holds the audience in the palm of his hand, pulling big laughs from every quadrant. His act doesnt get the attention it should do" Chortle"Bennett is undoubtedly a funny man - self deprecating stories that leaves his audience in stitches" The List"Well crafted, acutely observed stand up from a mind constantly at war with its host - Bennett's storytelling skills refresh every routine - an impressive hour" Fest"Dark soul bearing comedy mixing laughs with honesty - evokes the spirit of early Johnny Vegas" Beyond The Joke"Great comedic timing and the ability to frequently take a joke in an unexpected direction" Voice

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
