Alexei grew up in Liverpool, the son of ardent and eccentric communists. He was working in an experimental drama group when he auditioned for a new comedy club in London's Soho. The club became The Comedy Store - it introduced a new generation of comedians to the world, and changed the face of British comedy.

His published work includes two novels, short story collections, a novella, and two memoirs.
