Alfie Moore: Getting Away With Murder
Alfie Moore was a serving police sergeant with the Humberside Constabulary for 18 years.
Somewhat unusually he is now a professional stand-up comedian with four sell-out Edinburgh Fringe shows under his belt as well as his own Radio 4 series who brings a wealth of insights and comedy moments from his 18 years on the beat, where a keen sense of humour has been the key to his success and survival!
Alfie’s Radio 4 show, It’s a Fair Cop, is a huge hit showcasing his deadpan look at the policeman’s lot and asking the audience how they’d fare in law enforcement.

Graham Fellows – Completely Out of Character
Graham Fellows has performed as comical character, John Shuttleworth for more than 25 years on stage, TV and Radio, delighting audiences throughout the UK with his songs and quirky take on everyday life.
Now Graham, minus the purple leather jacket and fawn slacks (but fully clothed!) steps out from behind the keyboard to plug in his guitar and sing his own songs: revelatory, humorous and quirky still, but sometimes sad.
Graham will naturally talk about John Shuttleworth as well as his other comic characters, plus his pivotal acting role on Coronation Street, and becoming a teenage pop star as Jilted John.
Hear the tale of jazz legend George Melly, who broke into Graham’s bedsit, and the time he bought a packet of bread sauce with a famous Hollywood actor, poignantly recalled in the ballad, Mark Rylance Was My Lodger.
Ivo Graham: Educated Guess
After an eventful year off, the boy’s back in town, with resolutions galore but less courage in his convictions than ever.
How much has Ivo learnt? What good has it done him?
As seen on Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo, As Yet Untitled, Live From The BBC, Fighting Talk.
