‘Lots of well-crafted jokes and a large dash of gallows police humour’ **** The Sunday Telegraph

Former Detective Sergeant turned stand-up comedian Alfie Moore, star of his own hit BBC Radio 4 comedy series, ‘It’s a Fair Cop’, brings his latest stand-up show ‘Getting Away with Murder’ to The Atkinson, Southport.

In this fascinating and funny interactive show Alfie draws on historic murder cases and his own personal policing experiences to describe the art and science of murder and its investigation. He skilfully blends his trademark wit and charm with his extensive knowledge of the law as he encourages his audience to experience first-hand how it feels to be part of planning ‘The Perfect Murder’ – with hilarious results!

Alfie has gone from strength to strength with TV credits including Comic Relief, ‘Bizarre Crime’ (BBC3), and ‘Confessions of a Police Officer’ (Channel4). He was one of the stars of ‘Show Me the Funny’ (ITV) and recently joined the presenting team of Channel 5’s CCTV crime series ‘Caught on Camera’. Alfie Moore has previously supported Rhod Gilbert, Sarah Millican, Russell Kane and Milton Jones on their national comedy tours. ‘Offbeat, revealing and very funny’ **** Daily Mail ‘Brilliantly funny, genuinely hilarious’ David Mitchell For press enquiries please contact Jez on 01869 343173 I 07947 567405 I info@alfiemoore.com

About Alfie Moore

• Alfie Moore recently retired as a Police Sergeant with Humberside Police.
• He has served with both Lincolnshire and Humberside forces, for a total of 20 years, with roles including front-line response, Neighbourhood Sergeant and Detective Sergeant in the Public Protection Team – specialising in domestic violence and vulnerable adults. Alfie was seconded to the local force Drugs Unit and the Regional Counter Terrorism Team. He was a practical trainer for new recruits in the Humberside Police Tutor Unit.
• Shortly after passing all his exams, to be promoter to Police Inspector, he took up comedy and found that it gave him a powerful ‘voice’ to raise awareness of topical policing issues. He uses that voice to inform and entertain, including on BBC Radio 4.
• Alfie writes and performs his own BBC Radio 4 comedy series ‘It’s a Fair Cop’. A fourth series has been on air late summer 2018 and some episodes are available on the BBC iPlayer. In the show he ‘swears in’ the studio audience as police officers for the night and shares with them a true scenario from his case file. The audience is challenged by the dilemmas that front line officers face every day as they decide what they would have done.
