Alex Horne Career

He made his first appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2000 with his show, "How To Avoid Huge Ships". His 2003 Edinburgh show, "Making Fish Laugh" was nominated for a Perrier newcomer award. In 2004 he won a Chortle Award for Best Breakthrough Act. His shows with Tim Key have been "Every Body Talks" and "When in Rome", both of which featured unusually extensive use of Microsoft PowerPoint for a comic act. Horne toured Roman towns of the UK with the "When in Rome" show in early 2006.

As a solo performer, Horne wrote and performed "Birdwatching" at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival and "Wordwatching" at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival. He signed a two-book deal with Virgin Publishing to write up both of these stories as books. The first, entitled Birdwatchingwatching, came out early in 2009. The second came out in early 2010.

On 18 January 2007, Horne became the first comedian to perform in Second Life for a feature on Sky News. Between 24 October 2006 and 24 October 2007 he worked alongside fellow comedian Owen Powell, in an attempt to find a person from every nationality living in London. After a year's search, they finally managed to meet people from 189 of the UN's 192 countries, and hence suggested there is nobody in the city from Tuvalu, Palau, or the Marshall Islands.

Since 2010, Horne has also been performing with his band The Horne Section as the compere of comedy variety shows. Alex Horne Presents The Horne Section (2012–14) ran for three series on BBC Radio 4, and The Horne Section Podcast has streamed since 2018.

Horne, along with Tim Key and Mark Watson, created the YouTube series "No More Jockeys" during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown in the UK, itself based upon their earlier BBC web series "No More Women". Horne also hosts the YouTube channel Bad Golf with John Robins.

According to The Sun, legendary comedian Jasper Carrott has reportedly signed up for a television comeback on Taskmaster. Alex Horne, the creator and co-host of Channel 4's game show All About Me, announced that among the 'old-school' comedians, he'd like to sign up for the series. The former Golden Balls host, 78, still does stand-up comedy, but he has kept his gigs more lowkey than in his golden days in the Eighties and Nineties heyday.
