Alexander Bennett: I Can’t Stand The Man, Myself
‘One of the most important shows on the Fringe. Courageous and
thought-provoking.’
The Scotsman
Do you hate yourself? Rising star Alexander Bennett (Dan Vs Food, Mark Watson’s Comedy Marathon) does. It’s both incredibly destructive and – fortunately for you – highly entertaining.
In his singular dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful style, Alexander is now trying to be more sympathetic to the man in the mirror by appraising his past, his body, his mistakes, his achievements, the limits of men’s clothing, queerness, online culture, the rental market and Robbie Williams.
This show is about realising that letting self-hatred dictate how you feel about everything is disastrous, and you must take the decision to free yourself from it.
Join Alexander as he challenges his inner critic, tries to kill it, then comes for yours.
‘Touched with madness - I don't think I can begin to do him justice. A producer and performer of some refreshingly different material.’
Chortle
Alexander has filmed several stand-up specials and recently supported Eshaan Akbar on his tour The Pretender. Last year he launched his new high-concept podcast Born Yesterday with Andy Barr, which has already had guests including Jordan Gray, Phil Wang and Laura Lexx. He was a key player in Mark Watson’s Comedy Marathon, 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, Nick Helm, 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 and The Comedian's Comedian podcast.
Alexander is the creator of the cult comedy game show Hell To Play and regularly works with the acclaimed Alternative Comedy Memorial Society and Weirdos collectives. Alexander is also a filmmaker and director, and has been a guest lecturer at the Royal College of Art and Fourth Monkey Theatre Company. He recently wrote for the iPaper on the subject of unruly audiences.
‘Passionate and praiseworthy dark observational comedy’ The Skinny
‘His sharp interpretations of the world around him add a sinister spin to the everyday - Unique and hilarious’ The Reviews Hub
‘Seriously funny - his determination to share with his audience leads to some admirable honesty and more than a handful of striking statements’ The Wee Review
‘Very funny indeed. Very silly and satirical. Just bloody very good. So go and see him or you'll look very stupid. Very stupid’ Fringepig
‘Witty, weird and dark, the one to watch out for: at the spearhead of a wave of great new comics. All hail Alexander Bennett!’ Harry Hill
