Funniest Performance in a West End Show: 6th - 8th Place

6th Place (Joint)
Andrew Alexander
Richard Hannay
The 39 Steps
5%

Andrew read history at King’s College London and trained at the Royal Academy of Music. His theatre credits include Box and Cox at the Hen & Chickens Theatre, Nanki-Poo in The Hot Mikado at the Watermill Theatre and Nigel in the UK Tour of Salad Days. In West End Frame's recent five star review of The 39 Steps our reviewer commented "Andrew Alexander was fantastic as Richard Hannay. He reminded me of John Cleese playing Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. You could see how exhausting it was as the sweat was pouring off his face. He built up a great relationship with the audience which is extremely important in comedy." Click here to read the full five star review.

She has played Mama Morton in Chicago the Musical, created the role of Pearl Pastor in Carmen Jones before joining the touring and West End productions of We Will Rock You. In West End Frame's recent four star review of We Will Rock You our reviewer commented "Brenda Edwards - wow. She was mind blowing as Killer Queen. Her vocal stamina must be amazing to do the show 8 times a week! She was also hilarious and incredibly scary." Click here to read the full four star review.
