New Direction - Alex Redman: Sunshine Space Cadet

Alex Redman claimed to be a normal woman, but now she is embracing the weirdo within. 

Peculiar, quirky, off-kilter, eccentric, odd, weird and kooky are all words that critics have used to describe Redman’s comedy. 

This has left Alex wondering - “am I a freak?” 

Maybe. Or maybe she is just destined for a different world. 

In her debut hour, Redman combs through the eccentricities of life, her sunny disposition, mental illness and the conflict that comes with being an oddball whilst also desperately wanting to be liked. 

Redman’s 2025 split bill show No Worries if Not won the Newcastle Fringe Audience Award, and her comedy gameshow Foolympics has gained a cult following for celebrating the fools, freaks and weirdos of the world.

“Appealingly quirky” Chortle

Sammy Dobson:

“Lee has an incredible ability to find order, story and a bigger picture and help you find a route through and clarity in the noise. He’s incredibly supportive and funny to his bones. An absolute joy to work with.”

Elaine Robertson:

“Lee is a fabulous director and encouraged me to tell stories I’ve wanted to tell but have previously been too nervous to try.
