He reflects on the importance of Comedy Unleashed as a rare venue for free expression, critiques the establishment's influence on comedy, and explains how his faith shapes his perspective and material. With sharp wit, Alistair tackles topics like London's ULEZ, societal shifts away from faith, and the absurdity of modern narratives, all while emphasizing the joy of uniting audiences through laughter.
