Alex Boardman

Alex Boardman

Alex Boardman is now one of the most sought after young acts in the country due to his ability to interact with almost any audience and to seemingly conjure something out of nothing. His free flowing style and natural charm breeze through in performances. However there is always a hard hitting edge to his material that acts as counter balance to this.

Given his ability for ad-libbing and total ease with the audience, it is no wonder that Alex often finds himself acting as compere. However, this is a role he relishes not least because it gives him the opportunity to set the tone of the evening and ensure everyone has as good a time as he is having.

It is perhaps because of his unique brand of flattery and abuse, as one journalist put it, that he is so popular. Although he dances round the edge of what is considered okay to say in public, the lack of malice and sense of fun in what he does, means that everyone gets to laugh. Best of all you feel that it is at no one's expense.
