Alexis Dubus in summary
Alexis Dubus is a London-based performer who roams the globe talking nonsense and, more often than not, pretending to be other things.

He also ran and co-hosted the much-loved Falling Down With Laughter comedy club for 6 years with Sy Thomas and is a proud Board Member of the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society. He hosts the Spirits Of The Fringe podcast.
