Alan Partridge - Stratagem

The show constructs a series of comedic sketches and monologues that rely entirely on Alan Partridge's signature narcissism and cringe-worthy grandiosity. The direction explores the character's delusions of profundity through sparse staging, keeping the focus on his awkward yet compelling persona.

What lingers after the curtain call is the hilarious tragedy of a man perpetually performing for an audience he desperately needs to impress. It's a masterclass in character-based cringe comedy. — MovieFinder Editorial
