A regular at comedy clubs all over the country, Alex expertly walks the fine line between cheeky and outright smut. She has performed at Reading and Leeds festival, Victorious Festival, as tour support for Frankie Boyle, Eshaan Akbar, Steve Bugeja and Matt Richardson and regularly gigs at Glee Club, Bill Murray, and 21Soho amongst many others. She hosts Dulwich Hamlet Comedy every month as well as running gigs with WTD Comedy.

Originally from the East Midlands and the first in her family to go to university and pursue a career in the arts, Alexandra hilariously skewers the juxtaposition of her working-class upbringing and her current life as an East London based, freelance writer and comedian.

Alexandra has a growing social media following, with over 49k followers on Twitter and over 9k followers on Instagram, with her acerbic tweets regularly going viral. In 2022 she appeared on Radio 4 Extra's Comedy Club with Arthur Smith, the Moon Under Water Podcast with John Robins, Fit and Proper Podcast with Rhys James and Lloyd Griffith and with Peter Crouch on the series Save Our Beautiful Game (Discovery+), and in 2023 she was shortlisted for the 99 Club Female and Non-Binary Comedians Programme.

As a writer she has contributed to Have I Got News For You, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Refinery29, Time Out, Metro and Independent magazines, regularly works for Sunday Times Style and the Evening Standard and has been a columnist for NME. She also runs the cult hit indie, rock and roll and britpop club night, Indie Amnesty, which has held sold out shows in London, Barcelona, Margate and Glasgow.

She will be performing her debut show, Not My Finest Hour, at Edinburgh Fringe 2023. The show was nominated for Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival Awards 2023.
