Comedy Central’s critically acclaimed cult stand-up series The Alternative Comedy Experience is back with 13 brand new episodes.
Curated once again by Stewart Lee the show takes another entirely original look at the grass roots stand-up scene with performances from the best cult comedy acts around and is unlike any other live comedy show on Television.
The range of comedy talent featuring in this second series reflects an ever changing and innovative scene and includes a significant number of female comedians.
Returning to series two are favourites Tony Law, Isy Suttie David Kay, Simon Munnery, Maeve Higgins, Josie Long, David O Doherty, Paul Foot, Bridget Christie, Henning Wehn and many others from season one alongside newcomers to the show such as Kevin Eldon, Michael Legge, Ginger and Black, Nish Kumar, Liam Mullone, Grainne MaGuire and John Hegley.
Lee once again provides exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the performers to uncover the inspiration behind their unique stand-up acts and these interviews are interspersed with their specially filmed live performances.
With 13 episodes there is not much room for extras on this 2 disc set but we have still managed to cram on an exclusive interview and live performance clip of Trevor Lock.
