Alex Brooker is an outstanding comedian, and a pinnacle figure in the normalisation of disabled entertainers in mainstream media. Arguably, Alex’s most popular role is as a co-host of The Last Leg, a comedy panel show featuring fellow amputee, Adam Hills, and comedian Josh Widdicombe. The show, created in 2012, was the first of its kind on mainstream television, and dismantled the stereotypes surrounding amputees.
When booked for events, as either an entertainer or a special guest and speaker, he captivates audiences with his likeable personality and effortless comedic flair. The living embodiment of determination, Alex inspires guests with his story of perseverance despite his disabilities. Audiences can’t help but resonate with Alex, as his relatable comedic style and down to earth personality leaves a lasting positive impression.
Headhunted for coverage of the 2012 London Paralympic Games, Alex entered Channel 4's Half a Million Quid Talent Search before the Paralympics. He later co-hosted The Last Leg with Adam Hills, a show specifically designed to increase awareness for the Games, and supply a comedic take on living with disabilities. Alex supplies the same unique material at events, both enlightening and entertaining audiences with his anecdotes.
An immediate success, The Last Leg has dominated our screens since 2012, a testament to Alex, Adam and Josh’s talent. While on the show, Alex interviewed a multitude of politicians, including David Cameron and Nick Clegg, and has been praised for his unabashed interviewing style. Whether he is talking to political leaders, or appearing at corporate events, his charm and confidence resonates with audiences.
With additional onscreen appearances including The Last Leg of the Year, Alex Booker: My Perfect Body, The Jump and The Superhumans Show, which he presented on Channel 4, Alex is a regular face on British television. Despite being born with hand, arm and leg deformations, he has carved a thriving career, overcoming societal expectations to compete with able-bodied presenters.
Aside from his television roles, Alex hosts the Footballistically Arsenal podcast, and raised awareness for the discrimination surrounding disabilities. He also led the End the Awkward campaign by Scope in 2014, teaching viewers how to avoid awkward encounters with their disabled friends and family. Alex’s first-hand experiences make him the ideal spokesperson at events, able to leave audiences with a better perspective on living with disabilities.
