Alfie Moore
Versatile After Dinner Speaker - “He’s a very funny man!” Rhod Gilbert
Alfie is an original and distinctive after dinner speaker, presenter and comedian with his niche area as a serving police sergeant. He came slightly later to comedy and brings a wealth of insights and comedy moments from his seventeen years on the beat, where a keen sense of humour has been the key to his success and survival!
Born and raised on a council estate in Sheffield he was an apprentice in the steelworks before joining the Police. Early on in Alfie’s career he finished runner up in a national stand-up competition and was well and truly hooked. He subsequently served a whole new apprenticeship, honing his craft at comedy clubs all over the country. He was then invited to become resident compere at the highly respected Other Side comedy clubs in the north of England.
For the past two years Alfie has written and performed his own one-man show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they have each run for the full 22 nights. He has also supported Russell Kane on his national tour. Alfie has an observational comedic style, which lends itself to witty, and sometimes gritty, anecdotes based on everyday modern policing. This ability to present everyday issues in a comedic way led to a commission from an NHS Trust to develop and perform material to raise awareness of issues about men’s health. Alfie has also featured in the Independent on Sunday, Radio 4 Today Programme, BBC World Service, Radio 5 Live and Sky Motoring.
Performances to date have included: After dinner speaking at Sportsman’s Dinners, Round Table, Trade Associations, Professional Bodies, etc Compering for Charity Fundraising evenings plus Stand -Up Comedy sets at: Sheffield City Hall, Frog and Bucket, Manchester, Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, Canal Cafe Theatre, London, Tulliallan Castle, Fife, Trinity Penny Theatre, Canterbury, Jongleurs, Voodoo Bar, Edinburgh, The Comedy Store, London… and many more
“A fascinating and funny insight into life on the Force. There’s no way of escaping this conclusion: he’s an arresting storyteller.” Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Alfie was our headline act and lived up to that billing brilliantly. He had a mixed audience of over 260 in the palm of his hand”. Max Newton, British Red Cross Society - Senior Fundraiser.
“Thank you for an excellent performance at our sportsman's dinner last Friday. The success or otherwise of the event is entirely down to the performance of the speakers - I thought your performance was spot on Alfie and exactly what we needed. I have no hesitation in recommending you for similar events. David Wilson, Fundraising Chairman Hull 36 Round Table.
“The feedback from everyone was how entertaining he was with a good mixture of interest and comedy. His views on the police, the judiciary and the public were very funny”. Kevin Yates, Lymm & District Round Table.
