Alex Leam is a Derbyshire based comedian, DJ-turned-stand-up and all round funny guy. Alex gleefully mines his past life as a wedding DJ to ruin your favourite songs and spin hilarious tales of awkward encounters, midlife reflections, and the strange world of decks and dancefloors. He’s appeared at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival, Buxton Festival Fringe, Nottingham Comedy Festival, and beyond — a sharp, inventive performer who brings energy and unpredictability to any line up!
