ALUN COCHRANE

Alun Cochrane is a no-nonsense comedian who specialises in funny nonsense.

Much of his comedy begins simply as something he’s seen, heard or felt in his own life, or in the street, or the kitchen, or anywhere, and from that it blossoms into a highly amusing anecdote or a strange flight of fancy.

He has recently joined Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio Show and can be heard every Saturday morning from 8am.

Alun has several television appearances to his name, most recently Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow. He’s also often seen on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Mock the Week, and has appeared on Soccer A.M and Live At The Comedy Store.

Radio producers are also aware of Cochrane’s talent and he’s notched up various credits from Just A Minute, 4 Stands Up, and The Now Show to Clive Anderson’s Chat Room.

At the Edinburgh Festival he’s performed six original solo stand-up shows in the last 7 years to critical and audience acclaim.
