Haddow is a London based comedian and writer and one of the most popular new acts on the UK comedy circuit.

A regular at comedy clubs all over the country, Alexandra expertly walks the fine line between cheeky and outright smut. She has performed at Reading and Leeds festival, Victorious Festival, has supported comedy icons Frankie Boyle, Bill Bailey and Eshaan Akbar, and hosts Dulwich Hamlet Comedy every month.

Her hotly anticipated debut show, Not My Finest Hour, sold out its entirety at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023, including two extra shows. The show received critical acclaim, after previously being nominated for Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival Awards 2023. She will be performing the show across the UK in 2024.

Originally from the East Midlands and the first in her family to go to university and pursue a career in the arts, Alexandra hilariously skewers the juxtaposition of her working-class upbringing and her current life as an East London based, freelance writer and comedian.

Alexandra has a growing social media following, with over 49k followers on Twitter and over 10k followers on Instagram, with her acerbic tweets regularly going viral. Her radio credits include appearances on BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Comedy Club with Arthur Smith, the Moon Under Water Podcast with John Robins, Fit and Proper Podcast with Rhys James and Lloyd Griffith and with Peter Crouch on the series Save Our Beautiful Game (Discovery+), and in 2023 she won the inaugural West End Comedy Club Working Class Bursary and was shortlisted for the 99 Club Female and Non-Binary Comedians Programme.

Alexandra’s work as a writer has seen her contribute to Have I Got News For You, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Refinery29, Time Out, Metro and Independent magazines. She is a regular columnist for Sunday Times Style, London Evening Standard, Why Now Magazine and has been a columnist for NME, as well as joke writing for brand campaigns including Bumble and Cubitts.

She also runs the cult hit indie, rock and roll and britpop club night, Indie Amnesty, which has held sold out shows in London, Barcelona, Margate and Glasgow.
