jkspoff Review of Alan Partridge Live: Stratagem

Alan Partridge Live: Stratagem (2022 TV Special)

A massive Steve Coogan fan, but very disappointed

[1/10 · 28 January 2023]

I'm sure Steve has made a lot of money from this tour, however I along with many other people have never watched so much drivel in all ours lives. The character Alan Partridge is absolutely superb and one of the finest comedy series of all time, however this effort falls short of being remotely amusing. As someone sat watching this live I cringed along with other audience members when no one was laughing. I know it's the character, however it's supposed to still be funny. It's a perfect example of leaving a classic memory behind and not trying to rekindle it for more money. Don't waste your time, don't watch it.
