Alice is an award winning writer, Broadcaster, performer and comedian.
Her sold out solo shows have been commissioned as podcast and TV specials on Amazon Prime, NextUp and the ABC, as well as being performed to critical acclaim at Festivals including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Canberra Comedy Festival, Perth Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, New Zealand and Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Her recent solo show ‘Chronos’ received rave reviews, including a 4 star review from The Telegraph.
Alice is a regular writer and performer on BBC Radio‘s flagship satirical news comedy show The News Quiz, as well as appearing regularly on the ABC’s Thank God It’s Friday, the Australian Podcast Award winning A Rational Fear and is so beloved as a regular co-host on The Bugle that she was given her own spin-off shows, the deranged and experimental The Last Post, and The Gargle.
Alice’s personal podcast ‘Tea with Alice’ delights her thoughtful and clever audiences and demonstrates how drinking tea with a rotating cast of bright and brilliant guests has the potential to solve all the world’s problems (even if just for a little while). Her trilogy of stand-up shows Savage, The Resistance and Empire were combined as The Alice Fraser Trilogy, a podcast that was voted the Best Australian Podcast of 2018 by Apple Australia.
Her four documentaries for Audible on Meditation 101, Habit Change, Wellness and Work Life Balance are extremely popular, with In The Habit being in the top 5 most downloaded titles on the app in its release year. She also co-hosted BBC Radio 4 series Stranger Than Sci Fi, about the ongoing conversations between science and science fiction.
Alice has given a TEDx Talk about vanity in the face of death, debated the power of the media against Julian Assange at Splendour in the Grass and once did a gig in a butcher’s shop next to a rotating meat display that was much more stressful than either of those things.

HISTORY.
Studying Arts/Law at Sydney University, Alice began her life in comedy through the Improvised Comedy scene and the Arts and Law Faculty Revues across two universities and 5 years of writing, directing, producing and performing.
During her Masters in English Literature (Rhetoric) at Cambridge, she carried her love of sketch comedy writing and performing into the Cambridge Footlights.
She then went to New York for a stint as an intern in an NYC investment bank, started doing stand-up comedy in her spare time, and despite a brief career as a lawyer at Allens Linklaters, has been doing standup ever since.
She is now a comedian and writer, having performed all over the world, from Cambridge to New York to New Zealand, and from London to Damascus to Edinburgh.
Alice won the inaugural Homebake Comedy Competition, and was nominated for best newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival 2013. She was named as one of Chortle's Gigs of the year in 2015. She consistently gets quite nice Reviews for her solo shows, if that matters at all (it does, but it shouldn’t).
PUNCHLINES TO A DEADLINE.
Alice regularly performs and is available for corporate events and charity fundraisers, clubs and theatres, doing standup, MC work and comedy debates.
Alice's breadth of experience from the hallowed halls of Cambridge in the Footlights to the sticky floors of New York's cut-throat comedy scene has left her with tough, flexible and impressive writing and performing skills.
Her writing talents and versatility have led to her to write jokes for comedians appearing on Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week & Roast Battle.
Alice is a regular MC, Keynote Speaker and headliner and is open for bookings to perform.
