An Afternoon With Clinton Baptiste
Alex Lowe • Professional company
About Alex Lowe
Alex Lowe performs as Clinton Baptiste, Britain's foremost clairvoyant medium psychic from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights. This show is a best-of selection from four UK tours, presenting the character's signature blend of deadpan spiritualism and comedy. Clinton is only telling you what the spirits are telling him — whether you believe him or not is entirely up to you. A character comedy show that has proven itself across multiple tours.
Why see this show?
Clinton Baptiste is a brilliantly crafted character — pompous, sincere, and utterly absurd. If you know Phoenix Nights you will love seeing him in full flow; if you don't, this is the perfect introduction to one of British comedy's great creations.
