Alex Horne – Monsieur Butterfly

The ever-inventive Alex Horne received a Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination and won the Innovation gong at the 2015 Chortle Awards for this glorious show. In 'Monsieur Butterfly', Horne builds an elaborate, Rube Goldberg-style contraption on stage each night, made from bits and bobs bought at B&Q, as he talks about his current life. It's delightfully daft, and his best show is yonks.
