In her solo debut Alderson leads a symposium with a difference. Armed with a flip chart, a guitar and some notes prepared by her beleaguered assistant Rosemary (much talked about but never seen), the comic attempts to distil what it is to be a great leader. Whether she succeeds in this task is anyone’s guess, but both audience and artist have a lot of fun in the process.
The un-PC character Alderson channels induces much hilarity. Using a book entitled How to Win an Election as her inspiration, she outlines her campaign promises, transforming tedious policy areas into witticisms. Though lacking consistency in certain areas Alderson is nonetheless a talented performer who engages well with her audience.
