Shows
These are the shows I've performed in Edinburgh and around the world. I'm still doing them all every now and again, so if you're interested in seeing or, even better, hosting one, do get in touch.
Wordwatching
On January 25th 2006, award-winning verbal trickster Alex Horne celebrated his TKDay (his 10,000th day alive) and decided to mark the event by inventing a brand new word. “A safe place to invest your comedy honk” Time Out.
We Need Answers
The return of last year’s smash hit divvy Festival Challenge Cup. Mark Watson, Tim Key and Alex Horne invite more fringe heroes to answer questions provided by AQA 63336 and avoid wearing the clumpy clogs of defeat.
Birdwatching
My dad’s a birdwatcher. I’m not. But for one year I travelled round Britain, Bahrain, Birdworld and Bill Oddie in a bid to discover what makes him twitch. A true tale of hornithological adventure.
When In Rome
Following the success of his previous two innovative and semi-educational festival shows, Alex now takes on one of light entertainment’s final taboos – Latin.
Every Body Talks
Stand-up comedy, public speaking, news-reading, mime – it’s all about communication. And 80% of communication is non-verbal (about 15% chatting and 5% little notes like post-its, text messages and tattoos). So how does it actually work? Why not let Alex tell you with his mouth and body.
Making Fish Laugh
In 1976 scientists gathered in Cardiff to discover exactly what makes humans laugh. Now, for the first time, a stand-up comic recreates their experiments on stage. Warning: Parts of this show have been tested on animals.
