A show about hating yourself and amongst other things, choosing not to
Do you hate yourself? Recent Chortle Award nominee Alexander Bennett does. It’s both incredibly destructive and fortunately for you – highly entertaining.
In his singular dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful style, Alexander is now trying to be more sympathetic to the man in the mirror by appraising his past, his body, his mistakes, his achievements, the limits of men’s clothing, queerness, online culture, the rental market and Robbie Williams.
I Can’t Stand The Man, Myself is about realising that letting self-hatred dictate how you feel about everything is disastrous, and you must take the decision to free yourself from it.
Join Alexander as he challenges his inner critic, tries to kill it, then comes for yours.
Alexander hosts the high-concept podcast Born Yesterday with Andy Barr, is the creator of the cult comedy game show Hell To Play and regularly works with the acclaimed Alternative Comedy Memorial Society and Weirdos collectives. He was a key player in Mark Watson’s Comedy Marathon, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food.He has recently appeared on Radio 4, Insane in the Men Brain, Shame is Delicious and The Comedian’s Comedian podcast. Alexander has filmed several stand-up specials and has been a guest lecturer at the Royal College of Art and Fourth Monkey Theatre Company.
