Alun Cochrane

Alun Cochrane is finding it hard to be a grown up. He questions peoples decisions and motives much like a child would, but Alun is not a child.

No, he is a grown man so some of these issues he has to keep locked up until he gets on stage and then they all burst out in one go.

Alun grew up in West Yorkshire and started his comedy career back in 2003.

At his first Edinburgh show, My Favourite Words In My Best Stories, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer award.

The acclaim didn't stop there as Alun went on to be nominated for Best Compere and Best Breakthrough Act at the 2005 Chortle Awards.

He has continued to take his shows to Edinburgh almost every year to rave reviews.

Alun Cochrane is a storyteller, but purists may say he's not a very good one as each story will come complete with tangent after tangent, by the end of which even he might not know which character is talking.

Alun has a no nonsense approach to the men of today too.

Start talking about property prices and he'll cut you down straight away, say you could run the country and he'll question your attire and don't even think about eating a peach on a busy train without easy access to kitchen roll.

No stranger to the screen, Alun has appeared on panel shows aplenty including 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You and our very own Grouchy Young Men.

He has also helped out his comedy friends by having cameos in both Not Going Out and We Are Klang.

Radio producers are also aware of ochrane’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.

Alun Cochrane's ability to think beyond a normal conversation adds to his already natural charm.

Confident and assured, Alun is a great performer who will be making people laugh for many years to come.

Alun owns at least four suits. He would know the exact number but counting can be tricky sometimes.
