Alfie Moore:
Viva Alf’s Vegas
★★★★ The Sunday Telegraph
★★★★ The Scotsman
★★★★ The Arts Desk
Following
a hugely successful, critically acclaimed 2012 show, the hilarious Alfie Moore returns to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a
brand new show ‘Viva Alf’s Vegas’ at
The Pleasance Courtyard from 31st July – 25th
August.
Alfie has served time as a steelworker,
policeman and comedian. Alongside his professions, he has had one constant pastime,
he’s a gambler. This frank and funny show recounts his roller-coaster journey
through glorious, glamorous highs and desperate dark lows of a man held in the
vice-like grip of craving the next bet and down to his last tin of beans.
Alfie’s attitude to risk emerged aged eight
when he bet his teddy's eyes in a game of three card brag - and lost. His
relationship with his dad, who shares his love of gambling, unfolds throughout
the show including helping Big Alf realise his dream to see Elvis in Vegas.
After wives and houses won and lost,
Alfie shares his very real concerns about the relaxation of gambling laws and
the all-pervading adverts force-feeding the vulnerable on a diet of guaranteed
easy money from online bingo and betting. As a compulsive gambler - with no
intention to quit any time soon - Alfie takes a surprisingly strong stance on
how the country is seemingly sleepwalking its way into what he believes is the
new social cancer.
Alfie's eighteen year police career
included a number of years as a Police Sergeant in Scunthorpe, where he was in
charge of the neighbourhood policing on the Westcliff Estate which has recently
been the subject of a Channel 4 documentary, ‘Skint’.
Alfie was one of the stars of ‘Show Me The Funny’ (ITV) and wrote and
presented ‘Alfie Moore’s Almanac’ for
BBC Radio. Most recently he has been featured on The Wright Stuff (Channel 5),
Sky News, BBC Radio 4’s Idiots Guide to Crime and Punishment with
Stephen K Amos and Bizarre Crime (BBC
3).
Alfie has previously taken three shows to
the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, culminating in his acclaimed 2012 show ‘I
Predicted a Riot!’. He has
toured his own show nationally and has also supported Sarah
Millican, Russell Kane and Milton Jones on their national comedy tours.
