“A joy to be sharing the stage with Alexandra Krekan, who seamlessly flitted from her pre-prepared material to spontaneous references to audience members and the night’s previous acts. Even though sometimes her inherent subject matter might be dark, she managed to deliver jokes on these topics in a refreshingly cheeky and light style, garnering lots of loud laughs along the way” – David Eagle

Hussein Ali

Stockton Beat The Gong Winner December 2022

He did everything well. His material was unique, his writing skilled, his delivery well pitched and there was a good balance to his set. There was a nice edge of darkness to his material that he went up to, but never crossed and I think this added a lot to what he was saying. There was plenty of laughter and applause for Ali. He’s a very promising act. – Notts Comedy Review
