Alun Cochrane offers a blend of the mundane and the fantastical. Taking his material from all corners of his mortgage-paying, newspaper-flicking, Skoda-driving life, expect stories rich in intricate detail and a mastery of simple and astute punch lines that belie a level of expert observation.

His daydreaming promises to veer from the innocent to the sadistic which, when coupled with Cochrane's spontaneous delivery style, should produce great results. He has, over the past years, developed a warm, genuine style of performance which tends to leave audiences happy to indulge him in whatever erratic and silly manner his mind happens to be wandering off in.

Everyone likes to daydream; Alun Cochrane just happens to be better at it than most. And if you’re lucky he might tell you about his Yurt. Evidently it’s a very special tent.
