Former police officer turned comedian, Alfie Moore, is bringing his stand-up show to Reading.
The star of BBC Radio 4's 'It's a Fair Cop' is set to perform his show 'A Face for Radio' at Reading Town Hall on Friday, June 13.
Speaking ahead of the show, Alfie said: "I’m very excited for my return visit to Reading.
"I know the town is famous for its 'Three Bs' industries: beer, bulbs, and biscuits – and for me two out of three ain’t bad!"
Alfie, who recently retired after more than 20 years with Humberside Police, will be sharing stories from his time on the force, including tales involving his German shepherd dog, Zeus.
The show also delves into personal territory, with Alfie discussing family, ageing, and ageism, all delivered in his interactive style.
Alfie's journey into comedy began after he left school at 16 with no qualifications, taking an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks.
When the recession hit, he joined Humberside Police, where he served in various roles, including front-line response, drugs squad, public protection team, and neighbourhood sergeant.
His experiences in these roles have provided him with a wealth of material for his stand-up routines.
Alfie uses comedy as a way to raise awareness of topical policing issues.
He writes and performs his own BBC Radio 4 comedy series 'It’s a Fair Cop', which is set to air its ninth series from May 26, 2025.
The upcoming show in Reading is part of Alfie's ongoing stand-up tour, which has been well-received by audiences and critics alike.
David Mitchell described Alfie as 'brilliantly funny – genuinely hilarious', while the Daily Mail called his performances 'offbeat, revealing and very funny'.
Alfie's show is not just about laughs, but also about engaging with audiences on a personal level.
He offers a unique blend of humour and insight, drawing on his years of experience in the police force and his personal journey.
He is available for interviews and can be contacted through his representative.
Tickets for the show at Reading Town Hall are on sale now.
As Alfie prepares to bring his show to Reading, audiences can look forward to an evening of laughter, personal stories, and a unique perspective on life and policing.
Alfie Moore's 'A Face for Radio' is set to be a hit with audiences in Reading, offering a night of entertainment from a comedian with a difference.
