The Impossibility of Escape

With nowhere to go and nothing to do for 12 months, comedian Alex Edelman has had a lot of lockdown time to waste. From 2021.

With lockdown changing all our perspectives on what's important, Alex Edelman reflects on how things have changed for him.

What does he now truly value?

He takes a personal look at what life's really about while comedy clubs are closed and he can't go anywhere.

He also investigates how much his existence has been improved by the arrival of a new flatmate - his girlfriend.

Written by Alex Edelman and Max Davis
