Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

Yes, but I am experienced producer I have produced shows at Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton Fringe , Leicester Comedy Festival and Hastings Fringe well over 10 years experience. Bedfringe is a local fringe which means it caters for the needs of comedy lovers who live outside London saving costs of travel in London. No need to travel into London to enjoy comedy. I believe audiences would also be able to see non TV comedy acts and local acts showcasing their talent.

A great festival happens because of the way it is curated, the level of comedians attracted to do the festival, the line up of comedians, the promotion, organisation and the publicity for the festival. The energy, the ambiance, and the buzz all make a good festival.

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2019 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

Looking for other avenues for creative outlets and focusing on content to promote what I do.

Tell us about your show.

An Exiled dictator fights back after an attempted coup by the West, with his army of comedians he garners support to reinstate himself as the Original African dictator. An undemocratic world leader , classified as an evil and brutal dictator fighting for social justice and fair play. The Original African dictator fights back to save his Presidency.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

They should see civilian comedians performing at the Fringe they are all good to have been accepted at the Fringe. I think Fringe audience members will be spoilt for choice, its difficult to recommend one particular comedian and after a year of not performing all shows will provide audiences.

“I love ghost stories. Old tales of haunted houses with long dead creatures lurking behind the dark. I remember being fifteen and performing a monologue I’d written for drama class about a frightened boy whose parents and doctors didn’t believe in his imaginary friend.”

WHO: David Alnwick: Writer & Performer

WHAT: “Magician and horror writer David Alnwick uses magic to tell ghost stories. Part play, part magic show, entirely scary.”

Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

I first performed at Bedfringe in 2019 at their opening night show, sharing the stage with some super cool acts. It must have gone well because when I came back two weeks later with my full show ‘Actual Magic’ I was grateful to find they had moved me into the main performance space because of high ticket demand.

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2019 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

I’ve discovered how much I love writing. Live performance has always been my life, but when everything closed down, I hid behind my laptop and wrote story after story. It kept me going.

Tell us about your show.

I love ghost stories. Old tales of haunted houses with long dead creatures lurking behind the dark. I remember being fifteen and performing a monologue I’d written for drama class about a frightened boy whose parents and doctors didn’t believe in his imaginary friend. As I spoke, I played with a dinner fork, and at the end I put it down, and it moved across the floor. It was just a magic trick, but I’ll never forget the reaction it got. ‘Nightmare Magic’ is the grown-up version. A collection of scary stories brought to life with magic.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

Go see Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq, it’s funny as hell and he’s such a nice guy. Patrick Monahan too, great comedian.
