In 2008 Alexis took his first solo show, A R#ddy Brief History of Swearing to the Edinburgh Fringe, where it received rave reviews and won the Three Weeks Editors' Award as one of their Top 10 Fringe Experiences. The following year he repeated the Swearing show, and took up his first solo character show, Marcel Lucont: Sexual Metro. That year he also played a role in Mark Watson's The Hotel which was awarded a Fringe First by The Scotsman. 2010 saw Alexis took his new show, A Surprisingly Tasteful Show About Nudity to the Edinburgh Fringe where once again he received fantastic reviews. Alexis' comedy lecture-style shows are fantastically versatile and can be tweaked to suit the tone of your event.
After University, Alexis became a founding member of the sketch group Ubersausage. In 1999 they took their first show to Edinburgh and to their delight, not to mention that of the Students’ Union, which had funded such a potentially disastrous project, met with great critical and commercial success.
Ubersausage continued in various guises for three years until the final show in Edinburgh 2001, when the group went their separate ways. Having already performed stand-up at their cabaret night UberNacht, as well as several open mic spots around the country, Alexis decided to go solo as a comedy perfomer, while still pursuing a career in acting.
Since then he has played a wide variety of theatre roles, both Fringe and West End, appearing on various shows for the BBC and making the obligatory minor appearance on The Bill (as a drug dealer). He also played a minor role in Chris Morris’ Nathan Barley, as well as various characters on The Crunch, a kids' TV show on Nickelodeon, which he also did voiceovers for.

The club was voted Best Small London Comedy Club in the 2008 Chortle Awards. The club has played host to various top-name comics, such as Jack Dee, Sean Lock, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Russell Brand, Adam Hills and many more.
In January 2006 Alexis took part in a documentary which involved driving 4,000 miles from Plymouth to the Gambia with aformentioned comedian Sy Thomas, in a very old car.
