Alex Farrow is a former philosophy teacher turned stand-up comedian, and his show New Order is a fast-paced, punchline-dense sprint through big themes — technology, medical trials, Freudian father figures and the looming spectre of world conflict. Drawing on his background in philosophy, Farrow brings genuine intellectual wit to the stage without ever losing the laughs. Featured in The Times as part of the Best Jokes of the Fringe and heard on BBC Radio Four Extra, this is sharp, intelligent comedy with real substance.
Why see this show?
Clever, relentless and genuinely funny — Alex Farrow packs a philosophical punch while keeping the jokes flying thick and fast. If you like comedy that makes you think as well as laugh, this is an unmissable hour at the Fringe.
