Congratulations to @thehornesection.bsky.social on their genuine feat of endurance ❤️ I had a lot of guesses but none were that level of mad. I slept 6 hours in the middle. My young children got introduced to Mr. Blobby which is... good. Throughout all the rest I somehow never got tired of the song.

5 December 2002 - Horne is lauded as somewhat less irritating than Robert Llewwllyn 👏

Full article (no further mention of Horne): www.theargus.co.uk/news/5120337...
We all know men who relate better to machines than to people. But this show was overlong and Llewellyn did not execute it with enough wit or sparkle. Indeed, his humble support act, Alex Horne, seemed to possess a more active funny bone - albeit heavily reliant on puns.

4 December 2003 - "one of the comedy stars of the future" performs in Hastings.
Four more stand-ups bring cutting edge young national talent to town. There's another hilarious instalment of the Divine Church of Comedy at the Sussex Hall, White Rock Theatre next Thursday, starring another four fabulous acts from the national comedy and cabaret circuits. The evening sees a mix of comedy circuit legends and fresh young talent. There's a chance to see one of the comedy stars of the future as 23. year old Perrier Award nominee Alex Horne fuses a stream of surreal stories, genius puns and razor-sharp one liners. Meanwhile the superbly insane Stephen Bowditch, famous for his roles iin Harry Hills TV shows and the live cult classic "The Greatest Show on Legs", give delightfully deranged support.

28 November 2019 - The Horne Section at The Stables in Milton Keynes
Alex Horne has gathered some of the UK’s finest jazz musicians and mixed them with the most exciting comics in the country to create some unique and hilarious noises. It’s jazz-infused comedy, late, live and loud – part improvised, part horned, part performance, part party. Horne can normally be found lurking behind a laptop on things like BBC4’s We Need Answers but for this show he’ll be wearing a suit and singing songs. His band usually tour with Madness (and Girls Aloud) but now they’re riffing to the rhythm of comedy backed by some truly great comics. Much more than stand up, much more than music, this is the Horne Section. Premiering in Edinburgh in 2010, The Horne Section has since enjoyed sell-out runs at the Soho Theatre, Union Chapel and Lyric Theatre in the West End. The Horne Section has also played at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny and the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

27 November 2009 - We Need Answers interview runs in the Guardian. Quizzers are quizzed.

Full Article: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
We get answers from the stars of We Need Answers This article is more than 16 years old Tim Key, Mark Watson and Alex Horne from TV's silliest quiz face the sheer randomness of Wikipedia Image of Watson, Horne and Key wearing suits and looking like they look. RANDOM ARTICLE 3: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S ALBUM, MAGIC Q: WE ALL KNOW BRUCE'S MUSIC IS MAGICAL, BUT IF THE BOSS HAD MAGIC POWERS WHAT WOULD THEY BE? TIM: I think he should have the ability that when he licks he can corrode things. He could lick the lock of a door to open it. So ... (proudly) acid lick. MARK: Well there's a bit in one of his songs ... TIM: … Oh don't MARK: Look, I need the points ... In Born To Run he goes, "I'd die with you in an everlasting kiss", so I think a good power would him being able to do perpetual kissing. But still get on with other tasks. TIM: I suppose to do that you'd have to create some kind of harness. MARK: Yeah, so less a magical power and more just judicious use of a harness. TIM: (Fits of laughter) … use of a harness!? MARK: Whereas acid tongue, by contrast, no one can dispute. ALEX'S VERDICT: Exactly. No dispute here. Two points. My only reservation is that acid tongue might lead to stomach acid and tummy ache which isn't a great look for a superhero. SCORE: MARK 2, TIM 5 "Tim Key: He's our equivalent of Magnus Magnusson" above three images of Tim Key's face making three different quiz-appropriate Time Key faces. TIM: It might be one of those dickhead sports where they chase cheese or pull faces. MARK: Maybe Cornish pasty throwing? THE GUARDIAN: Incorrect! But it is quite anarchic.

21 November 2010 - More hijinks at the Soho.

Photos by the inimitable DiamondGeyser on Flickr.
Weekend Comedy The Horne Section Comedy and music have always been close cousins and now Alex Horne firms up the relationship with a live band backing him and his guests. This week's strong bill includes offbeat poet Tim Key, ever-so-nice Miles Jupp and The London Vegetable Orchestra. Horne blows a french horn. Joes look on. Joe, Mark and Alex dance waving hankies. Alex has an elaborate hat. Tim Key pours beer into Joe's upturned trumpet.
