Submitting... Strategem with Alan Partridge promises to inform, educate and entertain in approximately equal measure. His publicity material says: “Wearing a head-mic favoured by TED talkers, market hawkers, TV evangelists, backing singers and carnival barkers, Alan combines all these roles and more. "It’s a manifesto for the way we can move forward, a road map to a better tomorrow, an ABC for the way to be. “Devised, written, choreographed, performed, and funded by Alan Partridge, Stratagem sees Alan not just treading the boards but pounding them, atop stages graced by such luminaries as Michael Ball, Jack Whitehall and Welsh rockers the Stereophonics.
