Alfie Joey really has enjoyed a career path like no other. 


 He’s been a comedian, actor, radio presenter – and even a monk. 

 
On the latest PRsonal episode, he discusses his incredible professional journey which took him from the priesthood to YouTube fame and Britain’s Got Talent – plus a house haunted by Elvis himself! 

Now a successful podcaster, communications coach and an illustrator, he tells host Charlotte Nichols about his lifelong grapple with faith and spirituality, his one-word answer about the afterlife – and an infamous run-in with a male stripper which left him red faced. 

This is an episode not to be missed.
