Alfie Brown

Alfie Brown is an English stand-up comedian. In 2022, he was nominated for the main prize of the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. He is the son of comedian Jan Ravens and writer Steve Brown. He says he can see his humour in his parents' styles and described "a great team spirit" between them. He attended Sibford School in Oxfordshire. He is in a relationship with the actress Jessie Cave, and they have four children. In 2018, the couple took part in Comedy Central's Roast Battle.

Brown started performing comedy in January 2006 at the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competition. He had left school at 17 and described himself at the time as "the funniest person working in TopShop". He described his influences as George Carlin, Stewart Lee, Bill Hicks and Alexei Sayle. He has since become a regular on the UK comedy circuit and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and started his own improvisational podcast entitled Whatever Works. In 2018, during a break in their relationship, Brown and Cave each performed at the Edinburgh Festival a personal show about their break up.

In 2021, The Guardian described him as a twisty and thoughtful social satirist in his show Sensitive Man. Sensitive Man won best show at the 2022 Chortle Awards and was recorded for Amazon Prime at the Soho Theatre. After performing Sensitive Man at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival, Brown was nominated for the main prize of the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. In 2022, Brown began co-hosting a new Formula One podcast called "Dirty Air", with fellow comedian and musician Josh Weller. In August 2024, he was nominated for Best Show by the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
