Hire Alfie Moore
Alfie Moore is probably the only comic, to moonlight as a copper. He has now left the day job, after four sell out Edinburgh shows and his own BBC Radio 4 comedy series ‘It’s a Fair Cop’. Born and raised on a council estate in Sheffield he was an engineering apprentice in the steelworks, before joining the Police.
Alfie was a serving police sergeant with the Humberside Constabulary, for 18 years. Some what unusually, he is now a professional stand up comedian, with sell out Edinburgh Fringe shows, as well as his own Radio 4 series.
Alfie Moore: Speaker
Alfie Moore is an experienced and versatile guest speaker, presenter and comedy writer; with his distinctive niche area, as a serving police sergeant. A natural and truly charismatic raconteur, his thrilling insights into life at the front line of the police force, will not only alter your perspective on the ‘boys in blue’, but also have you in fits of laughter. Alfie has found that walking the beat and dealing with everyday incidents, has generated a host of funny stories that you ‘just couldn’t make up’.
Comedy on The Beat
He brings a wealth of insights and comedy moments, from his twenty years on the beat. Where a keen sense of humour, has been the key to his success and survival!
After dinner, Alfie Moore shines his ‘night stick’ on some of the more bizarre aspects of modern policing – like calling prisoners ‘customers’. He also takes a light hearted swipe, at the twin burdens of paperwork and being a ‘PC’ PC. He also demonstrates the pitfalls, of trying to arrest a man fleeing the scene of crime, dressed as a carrot; or tasering a man wearing nothing but flip flops. All in a day’s work for the modern police officer.
Alfie’s Radio 4 show is a huge hit, showcasing his deadpan look at the policeman’s lot and asking the audience how they might fair in law enforcement. He has also appeared in; The Independent, Radio 4’s Today programme, Sky News, Comic Relief and The Wright Stuff, as well as on Radio 5Live. Alfie also competed in ITV’s ‘Show Me The Funny’.
Comedy Style
His observational comedy style lends itself to witty, and sometimes gritty, anecdotes; based on everyday modern policing. This ability to present everyday issues in a comedic way, led to a commission from an NHS Trust. To develop and deliver material, for raising awareness of issues about men’s health.
He has written and presented three series of his BBC Radio Four comedy series ‘It’s a fair cop’. Which received both public and critical acclaim, described by the Daily Mail as “offbeat, revealing and very funny”. A fourth series was commissioned in 2018.
Alfie was one of the stars of ‘Show Me The Funny’ (ITV), and wrote and presented ‘Alfie Moore’s Almanac’ for BBC Radio. He has been featured on; Comic Relief, as a pundit on Sky News, BBC Radio 4’s Idiots Guide to Crime and Punishment, Bizarre Crime (BBC 3), Confessions of a Police Officer (Channel 4). In 2017, Alfie joined the presenting team of Criminals Caught on Camera (Channel 5).
Alfie Moore has written and performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, including; ‘I PREDICTED A RIOT’ and his acclaimed show about gambling ‘VIVA ALF’S VEGAS’. During August 2014 he debuted ‘THE NAKED STUN’ in Edinburgh. Where it was a total sell out, for the full month of the run and was toured both nationally and internationally.
His 2015 show ‘A FAIR COP STANDS UP’, was nominated for Best Comedy at the Buxton Festival and sold out in Edinburgh. He is currently touring his deliciously dark, stand up comedy show ‘GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER’. Alfie Moore has also supported Rhod Gilbert, Sarah Millican, Russell Kane and Milton Jones on their national comedy tours.

Paul Braddock, Braddock Thornton Wealth Management –
Alfie immediately put our guests at ease when he took to the stage at a recent client luncheon and seminar. A true professional and genuinely funny man, Alfie managed to both fascinate our guests with his entertaining stories and lift the room to laughter with brilliantly executed jokes without compromising our formal lunchtime brief! I would definitely recommend Alfie for similar events.”
Philip Hurt, President of The Rotary Club of Kirby in Ashfield –
Please pass on my very sincere thanks, indeed the thanks of the whole club, for Alfie’s input at our Charter last night. Usually when a crowd of people are crying it’s a bad thing but, on this occasion they were crying from laughing so much. I received numerous really positive comments from the attendees as they left, and I really do think that Alfie was the major part in making it one of our best charters ever
Paul Bacon, President of the Rotary Club of Mansfield –
I have heard Alfie Moore speak at two formal Rotary occasions, and at both events the word I would use to describe him is – brilliant. He adapts his material to suit the audience most professionally. I would highly recommend him as an entertainer for both a mixed, and single sex audience.
Hannah Lamb, Burnley & Pendle Law Society –
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your after dinner speech at the Burnley and Pendle Annual Law Dinner. You struck exactly the right balance for the audience and any future speakers will have a hard act to follow. As a final note I just wanted to mention how helpful you were in the planning stages given that it was the first time I had organised the dinner”.
Lymm and District Round Table No. 796 –
Alfie was the guest speaker this year and the feedback from everyone afterwards was how entertaining he was with a good mixture of interest and comedy. His view on the police, the judiciary and the public was so funny. I would be very happy to recommend him for any similar event”.
Grahame Russell, CEO, Change Associates Ltd –
Alfie Moore entertained a room full of our consultants with charm and ease. Booking a comedian for an event like this can be worrying, but Alfie kept everything highly professional and very funny. The feedback we’ve had from our guests is universally excellent and people particularly appreciated him staying to chat at the end of the event.
