Alex Finch

Alex has been a huge fan of the theatre ever since he was fortunate enough to see Cate Blanchet in Sweet Phoebe in a tiny venue in Croydon thirty years ago, and for a while worked in the industry as a stage manager. He now teaches English for a living and writes daft photo comics in his spare time, and is a huge fan of live comedy, musicals and fringe theatre.
